Another batch of photos taken by a GI of the 351st Engineer General Service Regiment.

The first two pics were taken "On our way to Luxembourg"...no idea where it might have been though.

This is either in the Alzette river valley, somewhere in the vicinity of Ettelbrück and Colmar-Berg or in the Müllerthal region. I have not come around to do a in depth research on the ground yet.

The following pictures were taken in Ettelbrück, teh second one shows the parsonage.

Müllerthal, I think I know the exact spot.

The following were taken on a local farm, my best guess would be Colmar-Berg.

Another one from Müllerthal.

M12 155mm SPMGC in Echternach, Luxembourg, sometimes after February 7th 1945. The guns are firing pointblank onto the Siegfriedline pillboxes across the border. Years ago I visited the town with a veteran, he said the Tank Destroyers and M12 were bore sighting their guns and trying to hit the pillboxes' armoured cupolas and the steel plates with the machine gun loopholes. All tough the shells did not penetrate the thick armour, the German crew had to hunker down as they were disorientated and incapacitated by the incredible din. The US Infantry meanwhile flanked the pillbox and put explosives charges, either onto the doors or into the ventilation shafts.

I must go and take some pics of the houses as they stand today, so I can od another "Then and Now".
