Separate names with a comma.
Being taken out by paratroopers is quite possible. Unfortunately the report from the battery commander is not specific about this. (He was...
The battery from St.Btl.AOK 7 has been considered and ruled out by others more into German artillery. Having seen some of the evidence I have no...
Was not aware that this detail was unknown. There's actually footage showing an ambulance moving towards the hospital at about the bridge. As for...
It depends on what you call 'passing by'. The information doesn't literally say that they turned right, past Hébert and then used Causeways #1. If...
Correct area. I seem to recal we already discussed this incident (and the Danish flag). Maybe on the old Battle Bus forum. Its indeed Causeway #2....
if this map was used/intended to be used for reproduction the white may have been used to mask folds, stains, etc. Works surprisingly well even if...
I figured that was the one you meant. I think Pat posted a better quality still from Combatreels a few years ago..
there's actually a couple of them. Here's one: (A Co. 70th TB) Without checking my notes, this one is on Causeway #3. It was not knocked out....
Someone recently pointed out to me (and provided map evidence) that Hébert used to be northeast of Ste.Marie-du-Mont. It's Hameau Hubert now.
Not going to comment on any locations, but it's quite possible Lt. Rohrbacher's story is unrelated to the Todt prisoners. The information I have...
"Unit" might not be the way to call it. These areTodt guys (Armband reads Org.Todt). I'd focus on the SME - Blosville area. These guys were...
"Fifth and Seventh Panzer" Bit odd, I assume this is about 7. Armee and the 5.Pz.Armee (the former Pz.Gr. West).
Welcome Michael, your skills in questioning 'well established facts' and ability to identify them as the 'poorly supported, biased assumptions'...
yes, we are probably looking at the hatch itself as a dark shadow, but still not as dark as other areas on the photo.
Softskin vehicles can be a pain to identify. You can always try the AHF. At first glance I'd suggest it's a 1939 Chevrolet (no top), but types can...
Hotchkiss H39 (with its turret at 8 o'clock with the hatch open) Now you got my attention ;-) Considering this is about the 508pir,...
Pat, if you are unable to find the overlays for St.Sauveur, I do have those as well.
D'Este's 'Decision in Normandy' discusses the planning and decision making preceding the invasion in great detail. It might also adress this...
With the input of several others we have now concluded that all four Panthers were indeed lost elsewhere. This leaves only the story of the StuG...
No, the edging itself is not a square. It has a subtle rhomboid shape. The 'arm of service' is never put inside a frame. The problem is that the...
