Unlike the stamps, it tracks your specific purchases as well as luring you back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 THE classic scene on the White Pass & Yukon Railroad. It has been bypassed but remains for its beauty... and probably because it would cost more to remove it than it would bring as scrap. The present track goes much farther up the canyon, crosses, and continues up the mountain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Looking west along State Street in Bristol VA-TN, apparently early 1950s based on the cars. The tall structure is the tower for the crossing gate operator, and a crossing gate is closed stopping traffic. The tower and photographer were both on the Tennessee side of the state line, which in fact does run down the middle of State Street.

Nestor Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Major Henryk Dobrzański "Hubal". In 1939 as a part of the regular, Polish Army he fought both the Germans and Soviets and refused to surrender. In March 1940 his unit inflicted heavy casualties on a number of German units in ambushes. The German authorities responded with reprisals against the civil population, burning several villages and killing an estimated 700 civilians. Due to these reprisals local sentiment turned against Hubal's unit, and he was ordered by the Polish, underground authorities to disband his unit. He refused to do so. On 30 April 1940 his staff quarters, in a ravine near the village of Anielin, were ambushed. In the last battle Dobrzański and most of his men were killed. He was the first guerilla commander of the Second World War in Europe. 1. Body of major Henryk Dobrzański April 30th 1940. 2. Major Henryk Dobrzański in 1938 in the uniform of the Polish Army. 3. Winter 1939. Major Dobrzański with his soldiers and civilians. Edited April 20, 2019 by Nestor 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestor Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Morning of September 1st 1939. Start of the WW2. The Battle of Westerplatte begins. The Schleswig-Holstein suddenly fires a broadside salvo at the Polish garrison. This battleship was visiting the port the previous day on a courtesy trip. Westerplatte is a peninsula in the Bay of Gdańsk. Its defense served as an inspiration for the Polish Army and people in the face of German advances elsewhere, and is still regarded as a symbol of resistance in modern Poland. 200 Polish soldiers repelled countless attacks of the 3000 Germans for 7 days while being bombarded from the ground, air and sea. They had one 75 mm field gun, two anti-tank 37mm guns and four 81 mm mortars. To take this small, Polish outpost the Germans paid with 400 casualties. 1. German battleship opens up on the Polish outpost on September 1st 1939. 2. German soldiers inspecting the Polish positions on September 8th 1939 after the battle. 3. Westerplatte monument - modern times. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
