Some New US GI photo pickup's

[W Petz]

I just recently picked up another GI scrapbook that interested me because there are some photos of GI's out of the 482nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion of the 9th Armored Division in Luxembourg. Locations that I have been to many times as a soldier and Civilian while stationed with the US. Army overseas.

Also included in this scrapbook are some shots of the U.S. Cemetary in Normandy, St. Mere Eglise, France, Nurnberg & Munich, Germany occupation. Included were some German photos that were found in a Barracks in Munich.

Here are the German photos found
