I found the photograph interesting and thought I share as I'm interested in WW2 and thought others might as well

This is what John Keegan often referred to as the "face of battle".


“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

I found it interesting, thanks.
Though they seem to lack formal training here duck ..
But seriously, you seldom see "normal" pictures, mostly it is neck shots or the SS doing their thing. Lots of propaganda, too.

Yes of course, maybe I was a bit rough but I was sincerely puzzled as , and that's my own opinion of course, although a good picture, I did not find it special. But I repeat it, that's only my opinion.

The expressions on the faces could be from any soldiers in any army at anytime in human history. Thanks Bish.

I thought that multi-billion dollar tunnel was supposed to help? **snicker** I feel your pain though! Miami traffic sucks too.

The exhaustion and short fuses after anything that stressful is normal. You get so wound up it takes a while to calm down and until then you have a very short fuse.
