Landsers receiving medical assistence during the campaign in France. "Sanitäter!"
[read the edit]

EDIT: That was strange. Apparently I forgot to add the picture  :-X
Now I can't find it again, shame, it was a really nice picture.

I'll keep it in the same theme, an immobile Char B1 in France. It got quite a big punch from the Germans.

Abandoned French Hotchkiss medium tanks in Brabant - may 1940
Picture of two crippled or deserted French Hotchkiss medium tanks that were abandoned in Brabant. The French had a considerable number of these capable tanks available during the fights in the Netherlands, but these fine weapons were never applied in a wise tactical manner. Many were lost by simply being abandoned by their crews due to lack of fuel, jammed roads or light damage. They never engaged a single German tank during the four days they were fighting on Dutch soil. The French made extremely poor use of all their assets.

A view over the rooftops of London captured on cine film as a V1 flying bomb explodes close to Westminster in London. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament can be seen on the right.

A scene from 'V-1', a Crown Film Unit production, dealing with the flying bomb attacks on London and Southern England.

Command Sturmi "Aili" receiving ammunition during the battles around Leitimojärvi (Campaign of Tali-Ihantala). More precisely at the staging area very close to the finnish frontline positions at Murokallio. "Aili" destroyed five Sotka's during the battles at Leitimojärvi and later another 2 Sotka's at Vuosalmi (Äyräpää-Vuosalmi battle).

Those are Dutch soldiers with the Carden-Loyd armoured carrier if I remember correctly.
Corect, both vehicles helped in the defence of Waalhaven Airport.



German airbornes and Dutch POW's - may 1940
German airbornes and their Dutch POW's witness the German air strike on the Dutch artillery positions in the Hoekse Waard in the early evening of the 12th.

A bit iligal but I post 2 today, cant recist it:

Anyone ever seen a Pz1 Auf.A camoflaged? I thought all german armoured vehicles where grey in thoes times.

This I find a very intresting picture, This pic shows 3 dutch soldiers investegating a german vehicle back in 1940.
The vehicle is from the 3e Kompanie Rgt 33, 9e Pantserdivision. I wonder why its abandon. Btw Note the riding Spurs on the 2 soldiers boots.
