Thanks to Erich C. for pointing this album out to me. On the surface it looks like a fantastic piece ( some nice early shots, a lot of notations, captions, etc. ). Then I noticed the page on the bottom right here. ( the 3 portraits of para's wearing camo smocks, helmets and MP 40's ). The notation says that all three were killed at the Dordrecht bridges on 5.10.40. That is not possible because these photos were clearly taken much later.
( I believe similar photos were pictured in JYN's "Green Devils", and my recollection is ( I don't have the book in front of me ), that he indicated that his information was that these were taken in a studio in France in 1944 ) Perhaps Jean Yves could expand on what he knows about these photos. Anyway, wondered what you guys thought about this. Clearly something a little "funny" here.
Thanks,
Eric
