It’s rare to see records of Afro-Americans in action, thanks for posting
Nice, thank you for including 2 pictures of French Canadians soldiers (Regiment de la chaudière and fusiliers de Sherbrooke).
They did good in France as their were able to communicate with the local population.
Same thing for the Cajun soldiers from
Louisiane.
The cost of the sacrifice of others to live, to fight another hour/minute.. To us living today. History should never been repeated.
Just imagine being a French local or German soldier the night when the planes approached to parachute the men over Normandy. The adrenaline rush and dread from the loud droning of 1,200 C-47s must have been insane
I love these colorized photos of WW1 and WW2 when they are posted. Great work! Thank you!
Is that a variant of the sten gun in pic 9?
Looks like makeshift front grips were not uncommon:
