Imagine no smartphone to snap photos with. No digital camera either. On 24 Oct. 1941, the @USArmy formed a corps of trained photographers and cameramen, known as the Army Film and Photographic Unit, or AFPU. It would be months until the photos were "developed." https://t.co/r9bDXNr5Gf

RT @FirstArmy: #80DaysToDDay
First Army would have over 500,000 American Soldiers assigned to it on #DDay. The responsibility for the individual American landings fell on First Army to plan and carry out. It was the Soldiers who landed on the beaches that ultimately carried out those orders. https://t.co/9emhJOkzyF

In June of '44, an M7 Priest of the 2nd Armored Div. moves through the intersection of Holgate St. & the Paris-Cherbourg railway in Carentan.

The 50,000-lb self-propelled howitzer could hit 26 mph on a road or 15 mph cross-country

79 years ago today, 3 young women & a little girl, who were recently liberated from a German labor camp by the US Army, lay flowers at the feet of four American soldiers killed in Hilden, Germany.

The soldiers were crew members of the M24 Chaffee tank in the background. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/qr6fjjdej9 - J&L Historical
