English prompt

Using the provided reference image, colorize the original black-and-white WWII paratrooper photo into a realistic, historically accurate color restoration. Preserve the exact composition, pose, gear, weapon, cropped face block, background, and photographic framing. Add natural period-appropriate colors: khaki/tan uniform and jump gear, olive drab pack, brown leather boots and straps, wood-toned rifle stock, dark metal gun body, muted earth tones for the dirt road and building, green trees, and a soft pale blue sky. Make the 82nd Airborne shoulder patch historically correct with 1 visible patch in red, white, and blue. Keep the result looking like a faithful documentary-era restoration rather than a modern stylized repaint.
