Yeah,but still.....some security camera's are filming so bad that you can barely see anything,i mean where's the evolution of the filming quality? I think the quality should get better,not worse,even for the security camera's.

[@zimbu_]

The evolution is in the fact that you're taking pictures constantly with a digital camera. That means you will no longer have trouble making copies, you can transfer the images quickly to various viewing devices or over the internet, and you can even skip ahead or back very easily when viewing previously recorded footage. The processes of filming, editing, copying, transporting and setting up to be viewed all take much more time and effort when dealing with physical film compared to digital. Also, security cameras are dirt cheap whereas filming on early color film was expensive in both equipment labour costs.

[@shinx2k6]

Germany can withstand any destruction this world can carnage

[@throughcolouredglasses9300]

Most of "downtown" was destroyed, but the city was very dense even back then, there were a lot of areas more like "suburbs" away from the higher buildings, with more fields and gardens around, that weren't bombed as heavily. Lots of children and women were sent away into the country too and only came back after the war. They'd stay with neighbours, people from school or work they met again while checking out whether their house was still there. If it wasn't they'd offer each other palces to sleep or recommendations where the bombing supposedly left some things intact to try their luck there. Lots of people knew someone who knew someone who probably had some room left to let you sleep, or had a little garden property with a shed tucked away a little ways from the inner city that probably made it. Lots of people came back to the ruins to look for whatevrr is savagable during the day, even if they couldn't stay there. Furniture, clothing, personal items, but mostly usable bricks. Lots of woman worked to pull out every single intact brick, get another rock and use it to break off the old grout and rubble until the brick was usable again.

The sad reality is that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Humans are very good at not learning from past mistakes. We can expect a war of this scale or even worse in the future, because it's inevitable. It's not a matter of if, but when.

It's not recoloured, I don't think. Colour cameras have been around for more than 200 years now (I'm pretty sure, I'll edit this when I find out) edit: I was wrong, 1907 was the first commercially successful colour camera.

Love Russia Ohh soo poor. And how many of them? There were estimated 1 million raped, woman and childs, old and young people. From russians, of course

[@squirrel3269]

Light Yagami 26 millions of Soviet people were killed. 1/4 of Belorussians were genocided. The whole villages were burned to the ash with their inhabitants alive. Mostly women and children. Before Berlin there were years of Germans bombing and occupation of Soviet cities and towns. With all despicable crimes against humanity. We have many documentary on this. Stalingrad also was a beautiful city. 1943 it was totally ruined. Soviet soldiers saw millions dead children and women. Many lost all the members of their families. The Soviet Army stayed in Berlin till the end of 1980s. Did the rape this "1 million " (counted by the Western propoganda ) all that time?
