Good Monday morning to all. Time again for the 90th Infantry Division – Picture of the Week. This photo is dedicated to a friend and follower of the site, Tristan in France. Tristan is especially interested in the World War II history of his region, particularly the Allied push through the Falaise Gap in the [...]
Hope all went well for you this weekend. More snow here in the Midwest. Time to get back to work, and to the 90th Infantry Division Picture of the Week. I absolutely love this photo. For whatever reason, I think there’s a common misconception that foxholes were these nicely sculpted, plenty deep, often times timber-lined [...]
Good Monday morning to all. Hope the weekend went well. Time for the 90th Infantry Division – Picture of the Week. Who remembers the Big Band Music of WWII or the Swing Era? Ah one … ah two … ah three!
It’s Monday again, and time for the 90th Infantry Division – Picture of the Week. More snow and cold, here in the land of the History Junkie. Accordingly, we have to stay with a Battle of the Bulge theme.

Monday already? Really? Well, at least we’ve got the 90th Infantry Division – Picture of the Week.

Following the D-Day landing at Normandy, Adolf Hitler witnessed his German forces being systematically pushed toward the homeland. In December, he struck back, with the [...]
Yes, it’s Monday again, and time for our 90th Infantry Division – Pic of the Week. As usual, the History Junkie has more questions than answers and was hoping that there are some WW II or 90th ID heavyweights out there that can help. I’m always looking to learn. 1. What is hanging across the [...]
Our good friend, Chris Guska, over at the 90th Division Association Website also moonlights with the 90th Infantry Division Preservation Group. In BOOTPRINTS, infantryman Hobert Winebrenner, talks of personalizing certain weaponry, while readying for a jeep recon patrol, just after the Breakout from the Cotentin Peninsula. “At that point, we held a surplus of BARs. [...]
Today we are unveiling another History Junkie mainstay. As mentioned before, HJ has a special bias for the 90th Infantry Division. Each and every Monday morning, from here until the end of time, we will feature a 90th ID – Picture of the Week from World War II! Pause for applause. While I was working [...]
