Did I ever tell you guys that when I was a kid, my Dad built me a "Jeep" with a "50 cal." In the back?

Grumman TBF Avenger after it ditched following a catapult mishap on board the USS Bataan - 29 March 13, 1944
Not sure if its colorized or not but I thought it was an unusual shot!

... for myself, I would rate the Ju-87 as the #1 Force Multiplier on the EF until 1944. A far better delivery platform than the Il-2 ... more stable and strong ... both requiring AS in zone of operation, to perform well. But, as with armor, there was always a huge numerical superiority for the Soviets.

The men on the ground had great faith in their airborne artillery ...

A cute picture of an American soldier with a VERY cute (imo) puppy during the Battle of the Bulge. I'm thinking the dog is maybe the unit or regimental mascot.

Two German soldiers after taking down a flag from a flagpole (or putting it up, Idk), and most likely folding it. During Operation Barbarossa.

I doubt they're taking that down from a flagpole.
German troops would lay out flags on the ground to mark their position for the Luftwaffe.
Early in Barbarossa they were in more danger from a mistaken strike by the Luftwaffe than one by the Russians.

Sweet shot!

Maybe the dog is a POW ?

 

[Crimea_River]

That would be a POW WOW then.

Crimea, I couldn't stop laughing, lol. Special, I don't think it is because it seems to possibly have an American looking dog tag on it's collar.
