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

The one of the 15 year old German kid was actually very sad.Not really. The war was over for him and on much better terms than his counterparts on the Eastern Front faced.
Chances are good he went on to live a long and comfortable life in West Germany.
He might not have known it at the time but he was very fortunate.

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.

yes it was. He was a kid like so many of our own. What a horror for ALL OF THEM.
