I'm just glad it's not illegal to have them.
Thank you all for the replies...
You already knew, it's not my friend... It's me.
My grandfather retired from the Army and died many years ago. He did over 20 years and fought multiple tours in Korea and Vietnam.
When he was in Korea, he took LOTS of pics; probably 5 albums full. But, one of the albums is full of dead bodies.
When I was a kid, he told me about the album but said, "You can't see it until you are old enough. "
He always wanted me to enlist in the Army, but I always said, "Nope. I'm going to college."
During my third year in college, my grandfather died. Thankfully, I was able to see him on his death bed, before he died. Shortly after, I dropped out and enlisted in the Coast Guard. He didn't see me graduate from boot camp, but my grandmother did! She was so proud, and she would always say that I looked just like him...
A year after boot camp, I volunteered to go to Iraq. On leave, before shipping out, I went to visit my grandmother and I asked to see the album of dead bodies.
She went and retrieved it from its hiding place, and told me that my grandfather carried a camera everywhere in Korea. He knew that, if he had the film developed locally, it'd be confiscated, so he sent all of his film to Sweden. It was then developed and shipped to my grandmother in the USA, circumventing the authorities...
Recently, I acquired all of his photo albums...
I would never give them up. I just wanted to know if having that album in my possession would ever come back to bite me.
I'd be happy to share the photos, if you guys would like to see them. Not sure if they'd be allowed in the basement or not...
One of the albums even has old money from Korea. And, it has "military service vouchers" for US and British service members that they could use like Monopoly money to buy things on base.
