STUNNING

big thanks SANDY!

There wasn't much horror in those photos, not that I crave it either but they were nice quality images.

One interests me though. A sherman tank with a Russian crew next to a T-34 with what looks like Austrian Alps nearby. The US 65th Infantry reached Linz and met up with the Soviets at Ens on 3 May 1945 so I guess it is about this time and location ?

Have you any detail please on that particular photo of the date, location or unit please ?

great photos, beautiful images of a truly devastating time here on this earth


to my own embarrassment though, i must say, i didnt realize horses were still that prominent during WW2

i was shocked to see so many horses in the photos

it in a way shows how far and fast things were developing in those days

i mean one year we have the civil war fighting with muskets bringing out the cavalry

a few wars and years later, we now have tanks and submarines and airplanes, yet those are still so new in our arsenal and way of life, we were still using horseback


to me it just shows how fast things were changing in that time period
