I trust everyone had a wonderful weekend, full of baseball, backyard barbecues and maybe even a few cold ones. Monday morning means time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. We’ve seen a lot this spring and summer on the tragic flooding of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Our thoughts and prayers go [...]
This Monday morning, the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week follows the unit to St. Jores, France.
Today, June 6th, marks the 67th anniversary of D-Day–the Allied invasion of Normandy Beach, France during World War II. In honor of the event, all our posts this week will be D-Day related. This Monday’s 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week features a shot of recently arrived infantrymen pouring into the French countryside. The [...]
Many thanks to our friend and site follower from France, Tristan, who again, has come through with a modern take on a vintage World War II photograph. The comparable shots are from the town of Bad Lobenstein, Germany, near the Czech border. The top photo dates circa 1980. The bottom pic is from April 1945, [...]
This Monday’s 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week features a sobering shot from the U.S. Military Cemetery at Foy, Belgium. Row after row of fresh graves follow the Battle of the Bulge.

Gooooooood Monday morning to all. It’s time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. I love this late April 1945 shot of Lobenstein, Germany. How picturesque is this quaint little burg?
A very good Monday morning to you all. We are very happy to bring you another installment of the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. In late April 1945, the 90th ID chased the fleeing German Army into Czechoslovakia.
Monday morning, and time again for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. Hof, Germany, a city of 50,000, lies near the Czech border. Were these the same Hof rail yards that greeted so many East Germans upon the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989?
Monday again, and we hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We here in Indiana actually saw the sun for a few hours. I was beginning to wonder if it still existed. Lets put a cap on April and the 66th anniversary of the liberation of the Flossenburg Concentration Camp with the 90th Infantry Division Picture [...]

Some of the more notable inmates included co-conspirators in the failed plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, codenamed Valkyrie–Rev. Dr. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, General Hans [...]
