The pic of Berchtesgaden in post #3776 has always intrigued me.
The place was bombed by RAF Lancasters near the end of the war, and yet, in the book 'Band of Brothers', and in the excellent HBO mini series, we see the members of Easy Company reach, and enter, an undamaged Eagle's Nest.

As I post these photos ... specifically German photos, I remind myself over and over again that the men I see most likely didn't survive war end or end of Soviet POW captivity. I'd venture 3 out of 4 that we see in this series perished. These photos have become almost
a religious ritual for me. Some are professional cameraman photos but lots are highly random as if sending a snapshot to the folks back home. I sift through a few hundred every few days and let them talk to me ... if they connect I file em and then let the computer software determine what picture comes off the top of the deck.

Gotta agree Mr. Maltby. Every time I see a military man in a photo, Allied or Axis, I wonder briefly if they survived the war. Though there were probably many more, I saw a photo of an RAF fighter pilot and part of the caption stated that he was there from day 1 to end game.
