Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not after you.

Cheers

For the original pictures I just google old postcards of villages near to where I live.
These two sites are a good place to start for WW2 stuff.

Another top tip. If you drag and drop an image from your computer into 'Google images', it'll show you all the places it appears in the Internet. Good for trying to find out a location of a photo.
