Empathy and compassion in the face of adversity. I couldn't be more proud to be an American and have representatives like this! KUDO's to the American soldier. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestor Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Children fighting the Germans on the streets of Warsaw in 1944. They took over when the adult defenders were killed in action. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestor Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 First day of the WW2. Battle of Mokra which is a small village in the Western Poland. 110 Germans tanks destroyed by the Polish cavalry brigade. This battle is what often was later referred as the Polish cavalry charging the German tanks. In fact the cavalry acted mostly as a highly mobile infantry and while using the anti tank guns caused the first, German defeat of the war. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy R Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This is Uncle Al. Not my uncle, but my business partner's great uncle. Uncle Al was an engineer on the Al-Can highway during WWII. He had colorful stories about it. The work was brutal and dangerous, mostly danger from the cold. Lots of frostbite problems and poor gear. He lived here in town, a single man all the way to the end. It was fun when he came into the office. At one point on the project, Al and another guy put up a signpost saying "X miles to (wherever)." I understand that got right popular up there. Al lived until a couple years ago, passing at age 98. They don't make em like him anymore. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
