Amazing photos, InvisibleChurch. Can’t you just feel the cold?! It just looks bitterly cold.

Nice pix, very interesting. The one of the 15 year old German kid was actually very sad.

My brother-in-law’s father was in the march to relieve Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe. The only comment I ever heard about his march was that he ‘didn’t like Patton much.’

Too bad the men who experienced this wouldn’t talk about it much. My own father was a pilot instructor. He got orders to go overseas three times, but they were always rescinded. They were too desperate for instructors.

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

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.

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

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

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