Tack så mycket!

That's what I can choose from this evening

. Out local brew is the dark one on the lower left.

Shall we make an educational excursion to Germany then?

Yes, please. One of each should do nicely for starters. It's barely 11, and it's already been a long week.

I guess I'm too stupid to get out of jury duty. *sigh*

Jury duty by day, working at night. Sleeping somewhere in between. Gonna be a long week.

Good work! The colors fit very well. Reminds me of the WW2 comic series from the 70s/80s by Pierre Dupuis. That's the only picture I found online, but you get the impression:

In the books the colors look more washed out, like in the pic you altered.

Sadly they were never translated into English afaik, however they are available in French, German and Swedish.
Here's a link to the swedish ones:

However they did not translate all comics into other languages, for example the one about the resistance you see in the link above, was never published in Germany.
They also have one about U-boote in French only: http://www.amazon.fr/U-Boote-Seconde.../dp/2205027816 - I hope the frogs will reprint it some day...

In Krautland were 8 albums published - got all of them

. Maybe they are a good idea to check out as you want to learn German and are interested in WW2.

Guilty - hang the lot of them! Apart from the good looking lady, she's obviously innocent.

Always worked for me.

Thanks. In case you're interested, it took me just 15 minutes with Recolored. The original black&white picture had a very high contrast, so I had to lower it and make it little darker with Irfanview so the colors stood out, but otherwise it's completely done with that.

Lovely program.

Looks like I have to start polishing my Swedish again then

Can't be worse than augmenting my learning of Russian by listening to music and watching TV and movies. I'll have to keep that in mind if they'll accept me to that "German for simpletons" course on the beginning of next semester.

Edit: by the way, the scenery pictures I talked about yesterday have now been posted to the photography thread, in case you want to see some shots from Tampere.
