There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

The expressions on people's faces of the liberated communities are priceless. Obviously Hitler's occupation was deeply onerous.

So much for a .30 'battle rifle' being heavy. Have a look at how the short woman in the middle is holding the M1

The woman holding the M1 rifle...note the angle she holds it at and only with fingers and one hand. Looks like she's either magic or she's been slinging beer steins at Octoberfest for a living...

More than likely that diminutive lass (along with the rest of the crew) was a resistance fighter and knew exactly how to wield a weapon. She and the others probably were crack shots and could handle pistols, rifles, and sub machine guns. If only this picture could talk.

I just mean the apparent strength the center woman holds the M1 rifle up with, not the carbine. Try it some time...for a woman it's a lot, they aren't light.
