...came across this on The Weather Channel of all places.

When camera dealer Levi Bettwieser came across 31 rolls, that were over 70 years old, he thought they might be too damaged to be developed, but, after just one look he knew he had something special. More information can be found at www.rescuedfilm.com

Here is the link to some?all of the photos from the 31 rolls of old film from WW2.  The quality of many of the photos is lacking.  I've not come across any combat-type photos...I get the feeling most of the shots are post-war.

What is The Rescued Film Project?
The Rescued Film Project is an online archive gallery of images that were captured on film between the 1930's and late 1990's.  Each image in our archive was rescued from found film from locations all over the world, and came to us in the form of undeveloped rolls of film.  We have the capability to process film from all era's.  Even film that has been degraded by heat, moisture, and age.  Or is no longer manufactured.

Awesome freaking find!

Thanks and well done.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
