American tanks entering the Mauthausen concentration camp, 1945.

 

American tanks entering the Mauthausen concentration camp, 1945..jpeg

M8 armored car from the 11th Armored Division, the day after the initial liberation of the camp.  Keep in mind that these are the healthiest and strongest of the inmates.  And some of these people died before the end of the month, some from the wild emotions of finally being free.

I never owned a BB gun.  Some of my friends has one, but I was moved right into a .22 Short Semi-auto, Winchester model 74.  My son got that gun and he has since given it to his daughter.

 

When I was 12 my grandmother bought me a 22 rifle, Mossberg if I remember correctly.  I think my brother may still have it.

The bottom photo appears to be "iron lungs".  As a kid I can remember being terrified of the photos of children laying in those.  Victims of polio. 

As a student nurse I cared for a post polio syndrome patient who slept in one. God bless Dr. Jonas Salk.
