The medic on the right is from the 70th Trailblazer division. My aunts dad was in this division and recieved the bronze star for repairing a communication line under fire to bring in artillery.
They did a writeup on him in the Trailblazer news paper.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70th_Infantry_Division_(United_States)

He had many other stories. He also brought back lots of stuff, most has disappeared over the years. They still have a couple lugers, daggers, helmet and misc things somewhere.
 
Probably one of the best Kar98a pics ive come across: (engineer?)

Capture piles, both sides of the aisle.

Some scary B17 photos. Amazing what kind of beating from German flak these planes could take and still maintain airworthiness.

Arm shot off, cute French resistance fighter with an MP.40, and another tough resistance fighter gooning his firing squad....

The Iti's appear not to even give you a chance to give a defiant look to your executioner and made you face backwards in a chair! :facepalm:



Italian Carabinieri prepare to execute Pietro Caruso by firing squad. Caruso was the Fascist head of the Italian police under Benito Mussolini. Together with Herbert Kappler, the German Gestapo chief in Rome, Caruso organized the massacre in Fosse Ardeatine on 24 March 1944 as revenge for an attack the day before by Italian partisans on a column of German soldiers in Rome. Rome, Italy. 22 September 1944.

They probably were not that good shooters aswell, since they need two rows of people firing, with one kneeing in front (!) of the other one.

And these guys were our allies. Glad we had some sharpshooters helping us out....

This inedit photo was taken on 26.04.1945 in town Buja Italy, depicts a partisan division Garibaldi immediately after the surrender of the local German command, note the gun well preserved after years of war
