WWI Pics....IN COLOR (http://www.poiemadesign.com/wwi/)

I had no idea such a thing even existed. I was pretty excited to see the color video from WWII. I assume this isn't made up BS...looks real anyway.
Operation Overlord (http://www.trimaran.com/d-day/zone/zone_uk.html)
Just looked at this briefly but it looks like modern day pics taken at various points of the D-Day Invasion. Kinda cool.

A coworker of mine, who is really big into photography, says that they are fakes or the color has been painted on.
She says that color film was invented on 4/15/1935. I'm to lazy to look it up, so I'll take her word on it.

I wouldn't be surprised.....I didn't think it was around during WWI but I'm not a photography expert either so....

They most definitely look like WWI era photographs, whether they were actually taken with color film or not I have no idea.

Here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia link on that site:
The Autochrome Lumière is an early color photography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_photography) process. Patented in 1903 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1903) by the Lumière brothers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumi%C3%A8re_brothers) in France, and marketed in 1907 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1907) it remained the principal color photography process available on the market until 1935 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1935).

It was actually color photography without the use of film as we know it today.

Especially the cemetery and Point du hoc, both were overwhelming.
