Very interesting.. ! Lots of good photos of some interesting situations and equipment..

Any idea what that revolver looking fixture on the barrel of some of the Russian rifles is for?

That was a flamethrower. He had the tank on his back.

That heavy flak tower is impressive! I never knew they were so huge.

And "The Fighting Yank" comic is uh, interesting too. :lol: :lol:

Yeah that was a little wierd.

I remember reading a time life book about D-Day today, and it showed a B-17 bomber lying in a bombed out building in Berlin. The crew crawled out, walked along the Adolf Hitler Strasse and shouted out "Taxi!" while a German soldier stared daggers at them.
