Normandy1944

Back to German armour.

And the P38

The German B17

It seems I'm addicted to these kind of photos, as I spend searching for more.

I believe it was the Philippines, 1942

Here's some captured American armour by the Japanese

...

And finally planes.

And on to some armour.

...

Heavy weapons were captured too.

A few more.

Here's one from after the battle.

And the last one. Feel free to post some more if you have them.

And some more

Since I've got a new sort of hobby (working as an amateur military advisor for video games) I'm digging a lot into archives, museums databases, books et cetera for reference pictures. I came across some interesting pictures from American weapons in use. The ones using them are not the one you'd expect though. Enjoy

Since a few months I've been working on my thesis about oral history from WW2 veterans and survivors. In November I went a month to the States to interview veterans myself about this topic, and to see what it means to them. Right now, I'm in the process of building a website to publish my research project and its findings. My goal is to publish several articles about oral history and the Second World War. My question to you is: If you've done a lot of interviews with veterans, could you write an article about it for my site? I really would appreciatte it if you decide to contribut

Amazing history!!!

I love to see a US navy collection from the Netherlands!

Some great finds from everyone. It seems I need to plan a trip to the USA during SOS.

Thanks for your reply. It's interesting to read all the replies again.

I hope to add some more uniform groupings from D-Day veterans to my collection. It's my main focus and I don't think I'll change it, because I give lectures with my collection.

Found number 4 and 5 of my list! Three to go...

That's what I have in mind, but I need a good map for that. Haven't found one yet.

And they won't move when I press the padding against the glass?
