Garand Picture of The Day #238 Falaise Gap

[LimeyCarbineLover]

THese will be GIs of the 90th Infantry the Tough Ombres who liberated Chambois on or around the 15-18th August 1944....uniform is common for that era of the war.....post Bocage and Pre the dash across France to the Belgian borders......M43 issue clothing not common until the resupply of November 1944
Nice pic....the African/American may be from the 915th Field Arty battalion who were part of the 90th at this stage of the war.

various stuff like British TR 1's -2's and French Phougots (SP) and VW "Bugs/Beetles" - Replacements for bombed out bridges and some chunks were probably used in the Berlin Wall! Aluminum from B-17 and B-24's and numerous other aircraft was converted into Me109's-FW-190 and Me 262's and "Pots and Pans" for all of Europe..
