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 [...]
Over 30,000 prisoners would die at Flossenburg Concentration Camp before it was liberated in late April 1945, 66 years ago this week. Each one had a story to tell.

This week marks the 66th anniversary of the Liberation of the Flossenburg Concentration Camp, during World War II.

Even these battle-hardened GIs would never forget what they witnessed. The Flossenburg Concentration Camp was [...]
I trust everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. It’s Monday, and time for the 90th Infantry Division – Picture of the Week. By August 1944, the 90th Infantry Division had broken free from the Cotentin Peninsula and was racing east, toward Paris. Near Le Mans, plans changed. The 90th ID was rerouted north through [...]
Monday morning, and time for another addition of the 90th Infantry Division Picture of the Week. This shot comes to us from November 1944, near Cattenom, France. Members of the 90th Infantry Division crossed the flooded Moselle River to assault the Germans at Fort Koenigsmacker. Today, Cattenom is probably best known for its sprawling Nuclear [...]
Here we go! Our man, Tristan, on location in France, has again offered us the opportunity to view a World War II setting, through today’s lens. On April 4, just last week, our 90th Infantry Division Picture of the Week featured a shot from Chambois, France, during the Battle for Falaise Gap. Minus the soldiers [...]
