Steve B. Posted June 7, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2019 I don’t think that’s a D-Day tribute. The headline translates roughly as The Allied Attack on Germany. I think this is about the Rhine Crossing in March 1945. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagedfalcon Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted June 7, 2019 I believe cover photo is a know D-Day photo. Could be wrong. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin45 Posted June 7, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 7, 2019 The photo on the cover of the 1960's French magazine was taken in March of 1945. It depicts troops of the 89th Infantry Division crossing the Rhine. The original caption reads: 'Crouching low in a Dukw for concealment and protection, men of the 89th division, U.S. Third Army, cross the Rhine River at Oberwesel, Germany. 26 March 1945.' It is Signal Corps photo number SC204743. An un-colorized version may be found at this link (5th photo down): https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/proof/2015/11/11/found-in-the-archives-seldom-seen-photos-from-world-war-2/ My grandfather was a member of the 89th Divison's 314th Engineer Combat Battalion in the Spring of 1945.

Franklin Thank you for the correct information & your grandfather's service. I am have a small collection of 89th items but mainly WW1 so far.
