Daily Mail: Facebook bans iconic photo of troops flying Soviet flag over the Reichstag and suspends Russian artist for her incredible colourised WWII pics - but she says the website is 'deleting history'

* Original black and white photographs were brought to life by translator Olga Shirnina, from Moscow in Russia
* She claims a number of photographs were deleted from Facebook for breaching 'Community Standards'
* Olga's account was suspended for three days but she doesn't believe Facebook that it was a 'technical error'

A renowned Russian artist has accused Facebook of trying to 'delete history' after it banned her colourised version of a famous Second World War image showing troops flying a Soviet flag over the Reichstag.

Photo colourist Olga Shirnina from Moscow, Russia, is considered a world expert in transforming historic black and white pictures into colour.

But she claims a series of photos, brought to life and posted to her 23,000 followers, were removed by Facebook for breaching 'Community Standards'. She said she was also suspended by the social media giant for three days.

One photo shows a striking picture of a side profile of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler dressed in a black suit at a New Year's reception.
