1943- troops, many of them completely nude, unload a landing craft. Real footage from WWII.
Someone asked for some vintage video footage some time ago, and I found this today, so I’m reblogging it. No close-ups, but there are some nice men to see.
I love these naked soldiers. This shows that real men are not hung the way porn and media make it seem. Most guys are small when flaccid.
Oh, why not, let’s have some more vintage soldiers being sweet. WW1 British by the look of the uniforms, though I’ve not seen that kind of gaiters before so perhaps they’re not. The standing fellow has a very handsome face!

One of the most elegant, captivating war portraits I’ve ever seen, such a graceful but intimate pose - whether they were a couple or just affectionate brothers, cousins or close friends, there’s a lot of protective, loving posessiveness in the way they’re holding eachother, and you can’t help but hope they both survived the troubled times to come.
