It just struck me why you bought the Volume 1 book at the one in eight stage....

It just struck me why you bought the Volume 1 book at the one in eight stage....

Yup. It was making perfect sense to me until you korrekted it.

Meanwhile, in the American sector, German infiltrators wearing MP uniforms were stopping troops near key bridges and sending them on, so that they controlled the bridges instead - they waited for the panzers to arrive............

 

[panda1gen]

Some advance elements had already been stopped, as this destroyed panther can testify....

 

[panda1gen]

this did not yet deter the Germans however.....................who still pushed on

 

[panda1gen]

Although there was still some time for a hot cup of coffee..........

 

[panda1gen]

The advance continues................

Whether your featuring a photo with just a few words Kevin or providing us with a sources along with a photo such as in your recent Arnhem thread it's always a pleasure seeing what you provide us with and in all cases your photos by themselves tell the story all by themselves.

Link to Volume 1, K&C early WW2 is here at the link above, suggest you check which currency suits best, it does fluctuate.

Volume 2 is pending, just waiting for some additional photos and then a bit to do, might be ready by Xmas but no promises.

Vol 3, K&C glossy soldiers, is being proof read, if all goes well it could be out by next week.

email me.

best, Kevin
