Friendly Fred
Please post more! Kind regards and thank you.
I spent some time in Berlin in the early 70’s, and had the opportunity to take pictures of the guard change included in the images you linked. ( wouldn’t be surprised if it were the same men)
FredL 109 pic first, mine, (B/W) 2nd, and 3rd.
In the village of Rocherath,Belgium northern section of the Battle of the Bulge,Panthers knocked out in the village heading south down the main street toward Krinkelt.See also post #16 for another view of the knocked out Panthers.Guys thanks for the links.The link flyerhell put up, the young lady Jo Teeuwisse has a flickr page.I am going to try and contact her and ask permission to post her work here too.Well enjoy!!
Two photo’s I thought I might be able to do a photo montage,but unfortunately it did not line up.So its just a then and now comparison.The then photo is of a M4A1 Duplex Drive tank of the 753rd Tank Battalion which landed with Camel Force in support of the 36th ID near St. Raphael during Operation Dragoon,the landings in southern France August 15 ,1944.The second photo is the peacefulness of today.Post #159 has another view of Camel Force during the Operation Dragoon landings.
I like this one.
Please post more. I really love Now and then images.

Now an update finally.
A convoy of Dodge ambulances of the American IIIrd Army evacuate wounded GI’s out of Bastogne on the road towards Chaumont.
Amazing, mind boggling
Its really just breathless to see these works of art. I really want to know how they do this!
well i have done something similar just where i mixed in Starwars stormtroopers and AT-AT’s in to old WW1 & WW2 pictures for a photeediting class with Photeshop, and there i used certain tools to make things fit perfectly in to places and used a brush called ‘‘History’’ where i could make things blend it, (for the old & new blending in part) as for the photos you could find the now and then pictures and simply edit them in ‘‘Paint’’ just by draging them in to wishever size to fit perfectly with the one you wish to merge. i’m sure it would be possible to merge this picutre of Nazis marching thru Oslo too, if i’m going to go to the Capitol anytime soon i could try to take a picture of the same area
How do you know that these soldiers are Nazis?
Good, and important, point.
I think one can with reasonable confidence call all early members of Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler Nazis, and probably all early members of the Waffen SS. And almost, if not, all later members of both.
However, there is an unfortunate and inaccurate use of sweeping terms by those who do not understand them, the most common being the consistent misuse by supposedly informed historians and others of Wehrmacht for Heer. That lack of basic understanding and precision undermines any authority as a historian or commentator.
It is accurate to refer to concentration and death camps as ‘Nazi’ rather than ‘German’ as those camps were part of the Nazi Party / SS apparatus rather than the German state, despite the fact that from 1933 the German state was controlled by the Nazis and shortly afterwards the Nazi Party began establishing concentration camps to which it consigned its enemies with the ambiguous forces of the State and the Party.
The dualistic split of those in power from 1933 between the German State and the Nazi Party is rarely, if ever, understood or explained in the usual simplistic condemnations of the evils which occurred under Nazi rule in Germany and, what is forgotten, often with the enthusiastic participation of other European governments not free of guilt, notably the Vichy French and many French people who conveniently rehabilitated themselves after the war as a nation in which everyone was a member of the Maquis instead of often, at best, passive observers of the implementation of Nazi (not German) anti-Jewish policies of the same sort which surrounded the Dreyfus Case several decades earlier as a great example of the entrenched anti-Jewish attitudes in many and influential parts of French society.
thanks for stepping in there for me, i wouldn’t have had any better explanation
here’s a site i stumbled upon on Facebook filled with merged pictures like these:D
