I didn’t see John Wayne in any of those photographs. What’s up with that?!?
BTW, were those photos colorized, or where they originally in color?
Those are original color photos alright. Color photos of the Second World War really brings it home in a away black and white just doesn’t. I’ve seen a few of these photos before. I’ve had the honor of getting to know a number of men who survived the Bulge and they all said to a man how God awful bloody cold it was. One vet I knew(he passed away some years ago) had a buddy in his outfit moved to Florida just so he’d never have to be so cold again. Can you believe that!?!
John Wayne did not make a Battle of the Bulge movie or for that matter, I can’t think of any movie he made dealing with the European theater. (oops I forgot...... the longest Day)
His movies all seem to be set in the Pacific
I looked for Dick Winters and Easy Company but didn’t see them either. That first picture with the tanks looks like the model for the Band of Brothers set however
