Interviews, WW2, WW2 Wrecks
By Pierre Kosmidis
Photos submitted by Ian Spring

Most of the images associated with World War 2 are faded black and
white photos, or colorised images by artists who want to bring the faded
memories into existence once again.
One would be surprised to find out that colour images of the greatest
global conflict mankind has ever faced look like they were shot just
yesterday, making World War Two a contemporary affair.
Mr. Ian Spring is
definitely not the average WW2 collector and his wide colour slides
library, now counting well over 32,000 different shots from almost every
corner of the conflict, is now available to researchers, historians and
everyone interested in World War 2, via his website www.pixpast.com
http://www.ww2wrecks.com has contacted Mr. Ian Spring and
his insights are valuable to each and everyone researching World War 2,
as the war is not only depicted through images of soldiers, guns and
battlefields, but also through photographs of the daily lives of
ordinary citizens, civilians in the midst of the battles and many more
images everyone should check via www.pixpast.com
And in Ian’s exact words, “Somehow share you treasures. Don’t lock
them away in cardboard boxes under the bed. Let people see the images.
That’s why people took photos.. for them to be seen”.
What was the incentive to start your photo collection and why did you focus on colour slides?
It was a combination of
different things. I was born with dyslexia so my mind worked with
pictures and images a lot better than numbers and words. As I grew up
both my parents spent a lot of time bringing me and my younger brother
on trips to castles and old ancient sites all around Ireland. I learned
from a very early age, a fascination for history and what people and
civilizations have done before us.
It was only by the time I started University learning
Industrial Design in Ireland that I had my first access to the world
wide web.. aka. Internet.
One day I still remember I
sat in the back of a boiling hot class room for computer programming
(yawn) The teacher was late and I decided to use the internet. Ebay was a
completely new thing for me and most Irish and I decided to have a
gander.
Loaning to my fascination with history I searched for
old historical photos. On the front page something caught my eye. Out
of all the thousands of black and white images, a old gentlemen in
Germany was selling a old wooden box with 400 color photo slides from a
German soldier in Russia during World War Two.
This really surprised me as I had no idea that
private people had the ability to make their own color photos during the
1930s and 1940s. The first color photos in my Irish family photo album
started with the late 1960s.
The old wooden box of color slides costs me 400 euros on ebay… I won and now my problem was I didn’t have 400 euros…
I sold everything of mine that was not nailed down on
the ground. Did jobs. Asked for loans from my brother and my two best
friends.. But within a week I had the cash.
The newly discovered piece of color history was now mine.
Well not quite. The parcel from Germany was lost in the post for over 3 months.
Every day coming back from University my father almost killed me from asking every day if the parcel had arrived.
After 3 long months it finally arrived.. WOW…
Such an amazing combination.. a private diary of
color photography from a normal soldier trying to survive the war and
get back to his family. The daily life of a man involved in daily
madness. Captured like it was yesterday.
I was now hooked.
I came from a middle class family, so I searched for any possibility to finance more of this color history.
I ended up buying little antiques.. anything. .. from
Germany or france and putting everything in a backpack once a month and
taking the local bus to Dublin to sell my wears in the big city.
I was able to make every month maybe 200 or 300 euros extra from my wheeling and dealing.
And with this little money I was able to finance the start of my collection.
Now over 17 years later and 32.000 color world war
two slides standing in front of me, It has been a great adventure
finding these pieces of peoples history.
Colour essentially
makes photos much more relevant to today, as if they were shot
yesterday, not 75 years ago. What is your opinion on the historical
significance researching and essentially safeguarding those
photos/slides, bringing History alive?
I believe humans repeat their history a lot. A lot more than we like to think about.
And very sadly one of the most destructive and stupid
solutions we humans have cooked up during our existence on this planet
is to try and wipe out our enemies or those who disagree with us.
From history we can see this solution does not work.
If through my work, my research and my investment in
preserving these rare historical color photographs, people can see the
everyday life of people during war, see the waste of life, young and old
losing their precious lives due to war. If that helps future
generation’s rethink the option of war… 1 percent of people think
differently than my life investment has been justified.
Do you agree that photos depicting historical
moments should be preserved and showcased for the present and future?
What is a “lesson” you learned from your collection?
We forget things and we generalize things much too easily.
It’s a little scary because my wife is German and I’m
Irish, so in the generation of our grandparents, my grandfather could
have been fighting my wife’s grandad.. Different uniforms.. different
nationality… using war to solve… well basically nothing and both side
lie dead in a field in the middle of France.
We just always try our absolute best to remind future
generations of what happened and how bad war is. World war two was a
nightmare for millions. We can’t even image how bad a third world war
would be… please god we never have to.
What have I learned from my collection? Lots of
things actually. 17 years and my slide collection has been my biggest
history teacher for half my life.
I would say it’s quite scary how many people still
destroy these old slides. I would say at least 70% of old slides from
the 30s and 40s are binned. People don’t want to know or put in the
effort to record or keep these historical images.
Because slides are seen as an old photographic format people also are not interested.
If or when I am lucky and discover a collection of
color slides taken by a german or American or british soldier during
world war two, the pictures show a very different world than the famous
war time propaganda photos we know so well from history books.
Not the typical storm trooping Germans through Paris
France 1940. But images of a German soldier sitting in a hospital bed
being visited by his wife and little son from Munich. Sitting and
hugging each other. You know from the image the only thing the soldier
wants is his home and family.
Future projects/publications: What are your plans for the future?
In the coming years I
would like to see a lot more photo books being printed with the pixpast
name. I have 32.000 color slides and I think that’s enough for a few
amazing books. It just takes time and you need the right people to work
with to get something good.
My first book Leipzig in Farbe was my first but hopefully not my last.
I’m also doing a lot of projects with magazines and TV in France and Germany.
Plus I’m always trying to add more new content onto the pixpast website.
Apart from the “typical” war colour
photos/slides, there are many of daily life from the eyes of the average
citizen. How important is it to put history in perspective?
Absolutely important. War time was not only on the
battle ground. When the father was in Africa the wife and children sat
down in a small apartment in London hoping that the building would not
been hit my hitlers next blitz attack.
The whole normal life had to continue. And this was
well photographed by civilian photographers and also soldiers on leave
back home.
Whenever military photographs are shown in a book,
magazine or TV… they should always be accompanied by the outer scenario.
A big gun fires in the middle of a village but then show the little
children hiding in a ditch behind the gun.. Scared of their lives from
the sound.
(I know it is very difficult, but…) If you
had to choose one specific colour photo, because of the story it tells,
which one would it be and why?
A very tricky question. I guess it would actually come from my very first box of color slides.
An agfacolor german color slide showing a little
brother and sister holding hands. A normal german soldier has just
entered Russia 1941. Seeing a completely new world of culture custom and
language. The young German man takes his Leica camera and photographs
for posterity his first views into the east.
On the other side of this camera, a little Ukrainian
brother and sister one minute playing with each other in the grandads
garden, one minute later being
asked to pose in front of a stranger in a strange uniform with helmet.
They don’t understand the situation, they don’t understand the language,
they do what they can only do, take each other’s hand.
That was a historical human moment captured in color. That’s what really moves me.
What would your advice be to collectors of period photos?
Somehow share you treasures. Don’t lock them away in
cardboard boxes under the bed. Let people see the images. That’s why
people took photos.. for them to be seen.
And of course protect them. Keep the slides or photos
in a dry dark box away from moisture if possible. Also try and keep the
image stored in an environment where the temperature does not go up and
down too much.
Scan them with a really good scanner and keep the
images digitally preserved in 2 or 3 different locations. It’s a lot
work but if the originals are ever gone.. the images are not.
How important is it to have your collections online, accessible to everyone, as a tool to knowledge?
It makes the whole thing
fun for me. I think it’s very boring sitting on boxes full of historical
treasure and not letting the World see them.
A lot of people are now buying this rare color
material simply as an investment. They buy wonderful slides and put them
into a metal box for the next 50 years.
Once they are sold.. you never see them again. A lot more of this history is being locked away than being shared.
But hay, I think for my life I’ve made the right
decision. In Ireland we have a little nice phrase “you can’t bring it
with you” meaning when you die, you can’t bring one single penny with
you. So I’m doing the great things now with my time and cash.
During the 17 years I have been collecting original prewar and wartime color photo slides from the period 1935 to 1945, I have had the chance to also acquire some interesting original packaged film products from also the 1930s and 1940s.
