I am a World War II buff. These are great pictures. I have never seen them. Truly the Greatest Generation. Thanks for sharing.

Great photos. I was struck by how old the soldiers looked on both sides.

Afte the invasion they became much younger. Hitler had kids fighting his war. Had to be tough killing them but he made them fight.

I know that but many of those photos were dated 1944. It just struck me that there wasn't "pimple" faced kids like a so many in the service today. I know that many were near their 30s + or - that volunteered back then. God Bless Them.
