You missed out the u.  ;)

Oh and these were posted about a while back on Languish. 

They're just early Kodachromes, a remarkably stable image storage medium; they're a quite a few of the later years of Nazi germany.

What's weird is some of the farm and factory buildings, I've been through Appalachian towns where they're still standing. I knew they looked dilapidated and shitty now because they've been rotting for generations, but it's surprising to see they looked like shit back when they were working structures as well.  :D
