    History of my town: 6000 ss

    I just wanted to give you the history of the place where i leave during ww2.

    First, it's in France, on the Seine, in the town of Troyes.

    After normandy deafeat, A.Hitler want to built a new front on the Seine river. In august americans was near Troyes.
    The defance was composed by 6000 ss of the 51th panzer grenadiers div on retreat from normandy and 3000 wh soldiers.

    The american were only 500 comanded by the Col Bruce C.Clark (3rd Patton army).
    And in only two days they win the battle helped by the french resistance.

    The germans lost 100 mens and many prisoners
    included a general.
    During the battle, 70 civilians were executed by the ss, many childs, and womens. An awful slaugter... I have to add 50 french prisoners executed too.

    So it's not hard to find, ss equipment, at the shops or at old pepole houses.
    Me i found, a ss gaz mask named, a map from the komandantur, a 98k rifle, a complet camo parka and trousers.

    My school was the HQ of the 51th ss panzer grenadiers. And you can see bullet impact trought
    the windows.

    I hope you apreciate !!

    P.S: excuse my english and don't hesitate to corect me.
