Mondays roll back around way too quickly, but at least we have the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week.
This amazing shot comes to us from the Saar River in Germany. With the heavy rains in the fall of 1944, the Saar River was overflowing her banks, and had become decidedly unruly. I love the rolling, rather ominous fog, hovering over the river.
I would like to know if there are any picture books of this particular part of the War, possibly some journalists pictures showing the crossing of the Saar or the Battle of the Bulge. Thank you. Sgt. Toole’s daughter, Theresa
Theresa,
Welcome aboard and thanks for the comment. I’m quite certain there are picture books or collections relating to the Battle of the Bulge. I was also able to locate another interesting photo from the Saar River crossing at Dillingen, Germany. Link: http://www.everytownusa.com/world-war-ii/saar-river-crossing-dillingen-germany/
