    Yes, colourization indeed very wrong...... on just about every count.

    Its a well known wartime photo, very likely its a Churchill of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade, probably taken in March 1945.

    Details are much clearer in the monochrome original.

    Yes they are,
    Instead of looking brand new,
    I can now see the wear and tear on the USGI's boots, along with the caked on mud on the soles.
    Thx.
