Kathyinalaska, I thought you might like to alert the canteen folks to this!

agreed. Devastating photo.

Battle of the Bulge photos are quite rare. In color - I’ve never seen any. Color was available at the time but you just rarely ever see them. They are not common at all.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

With regard to the picture with Hitler in it, the man on the far right standing and pointing at the map looks like Heinz Guderian.

Those tears were tears of relief

There’s a photo there captioned “Exhausted...shows signs of fatigue.”

He doesn’t look fatigued to me. He looks highly dangerous!

My grandfather lost one of his toes to frostbite and the hearing in one ear to German 88 mm fire in the Ardennes.

Those pictures are incredible.

That picture really reminds me of those Hitler parody on YouTube. Like this one: Hitler finds out that Rush Limbaugh won the Judge Dance Contest

Amazing pictures, thank you for posting. I always feel a ‘silence’ in my heart when I view these old war photos.

That tank looks like an M26 Pershing heavy tank—definitely NOT a Sherman.

Different theater of war....but a must read is...

My dad was in the CBI (China/Burma/India)

The day before I left for USAF basic training in 1960, my uncle came by the house. He’d never said anything about his war experiences before, but that afternoon he told me that he’d been in Belgium and France during that time with First Army Ordnance. Must’ve been pretty grim.

Definitely not Shermans.

[bravo whiskey]

correct
