Cooking on a tank

A strange way of cooking on a tank.

Strange German Military Ceremony

 A new website to replace this blog  http://militaryhistoryofthe20thcentury.com/

This was sent to me as part of a package of photos from a Russian fan and the caption was all in Russian so I have no idea of what is happening here.  But what is interesting is that there seems to be a young boy in a uniform along with some German NCOs and other troops watching.

Google problem

I am having a problem with Google the hosters of this blog so for now you can continue to visit my blog and look at or download all the photos you want or read the articles and essays about military history.
I will still be adding new material here for now but I am looking for a new blog hosting site where I will not have the same problems.
As soon as my new blog is ready you will see the announcement on this blog.

London views during WWII

 A new website to replace this blog  http://militaryhistoryofthe20thcentury.com/

Here are two distinctly different views of London during WWII.  In the 1st photograph you see a smashed and burning London skyline view around the time of the Blitz and in the 2nd photo you can see that while it is still wartime with all those barrage balloons hovering over the city  the Thames River barge traffic is moving along as if it was peacetime and there are  no smoke smudges hanging over the city.  While I have seen similar photos these two photos as far as I know have never appeared on any website in any language.  As I have found out from some of my visitors and from a debate at a forum that I was reading the topic of these two photos should be about what a difference between Berlin and London around 1944/1945.

German Officers Executing Prisoners in WWII

 A new website to replace this blog  http://militaryhistoryofthe20thcentury.com/

Here is a very graphic photo of two German Army officers getting ready to execute two prisoners. They look to be mid ranking officers and behind them on the right there is a group of  lower ranking officers and some NCOs looking on.  At the far back of the photo there seems to be the commanding officer of this unit waiting for his orders to be carried out.   This photo is not seen on many websites. This was sent to me by one of my Russian fans.
