D-Day: June 6 1944 In 39 Unforgettable Photos - Flashbak[/QUO
The front GI- carrying a 1903 rifle with scope-but no sling.
Thanks-that was my guess. Just wondered about the absence of a sling on that rifle. The GI behind is holding a radio handset, looks like a rifle slung over his right shoulder- not sure if it is a 1903 Springfield (or 1903-A3, or a M-1 Garand.sniper
I believe that Offizer in the middle of the boat is Irwin Rommel- the Knight's Cross and the earlier facial appearance makes me think so-before Hitler assigned him to the Afrika Korps-and he later became more sun-burned and his face was lined from the hot, harsh climate there. Just my guess, if anyone has another opinion, I'd be pleased to read it. Hansie
Just curious- 2 ??'s if I may make so bold. (1) No treads visible on the tires (tyres for the British lads)-- (2) Are those two protrusions on the leading edge of the wing pitot tubes?:if not, what exactly are they, please. Hansie
Thanks, AF-- always good to get another opinion, and from an experienced member of this forum. I thought it looked a bit like the forward handguard on the M-1 Garand, and with a 2x glass, I could see the slot on the underside, and the gas tube as well. Nice eye, Sir.. HansieYep, I posted earlier that he looked like Rommel - fairly sure it is.
The guy with the radio, behind the 'sniper' mentioned in your post #10455 appears to have a Garrand. What looks like the slot beneath the forestock is visible.
Just wondering? What class of aircraft did the British RAF use to tow such a large glider with that very heavy payload.??Tetrarch Tank on Hamilcar GliderView attachment 484195
A rather chilling and unsettling photo to say the least. Good find MM.
Sad but true unfortunately. My daughter ( 17 ) and I were just discussing this last night for her school work, she get's pretty frustrated by this sort of thing, her quote was "didn't grand dad and his brothers fight a war to put a stop to this nonsense"?Trouble is, some people actually believe it

Yes, they did, unfortunately stupidity refuses to die.
