Very interesting.. ! Lots of good photos of some interesting situations and equipment..
Any idea what that revolver looking fixture on the barrel of some of the Russian rifles is for?

The pic showing the donkey with the Panzerfaust attachment made me laugh.

That was a flamethrower. He had the tank on his back.
That heavy flak tower is impressive! I never knew they were so huge.
And "The Fighting Yank" comic is uh, interesting too.

Yeah that was a little wierd.
I remember reading a time life book about D-Day today, and it showed a B-17 bomber lying in a bombed out building in Berlin. The crew crawled out, walked along the Adolf Hitler Strasse and shouted out "Taxi!" while a German soldier stared daggers at them.
