Fixbayonets! Posted September 20, 2011 #1 Posted September 20, 2011 I am not sure if this topic has ever been covered or brought up but I was wondering if we could start an enemy capture photo thread? I know only U.S. related material is permitted on the forum but how about photos showing U.S. forces either utilizing or standing with enemy equipment? For example, a G.I. holding a captured German Luger or a group of Marines displaying a captured Japanese flag? I will start by posting one example that I think would be okay. Rob
Jack's Son Posted September 20, 2011 #2 Posted September 20, 2011 I believe that these pictures are acceptable and will be of interest.
