World War 2 Color Photos
The Signal magazine was a major weapon of German propaganda during World War 2. Signal was the most widely circulated magazine in wartime Europe, its circulation reached maximum of almost 3,000,000 copies per issue and it was published in 20 different languages including English. Signal's modern design (including color photos) and format have been copied by many other magazines after the war.
Signal covered the progress of war on all fronts and color pictures published by Signal are presented here. The editors of Signal had at their disposal more than 1000 cameramen working for the propaganda units of the German army who often used color film, in those times very rare. Propaganda color photos depicted the war on many fronts - on land, in the air and at the sea.
