    Amazing: found in Italy...

    Hi to all...
    The mural pictures thah I show here are founded in a little abbey very close to Cassino (approximately 20 miles to north). Was released by german soldiers that used the abbey like a Field Hospital.

                Very cool, and it is especialy interesting that it has not been destroyed since 1944; maybe it is because there are no nazi references included in the art.
                What is the inscription supposed to mean, something like: "Men drink, horses tank up; but sometimes its the other way round"

                  Great Art... I suppose the last thing the Soldiers wanted in a hospital were murals depicting war! So these manly powerful images would provided great hope & relief at this time.
                  Great post... Thanks

                    yes is true Jean.
                    I talked with an very old priest that remember the 1944 facts. He have very clear memories about the germans that stationned in the abbey. Was very young soldiers, with friendly behaviour.

                        "six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".

                          Hello Raffaello..Jean-Loup had translated in his post: "Men drink, horses tank up; but sometimes its the other way round". About the Field Hospital, this was in a little Abbey of "Passionisti" order, and his location is to Falvaterra, a very little village (600 abitanti) near Ceprano, to the middle between Cassino and Frosinone.

                            I have to wonder if there was a motto or slogan in the ribbon of the picture depicting the knight. It is blank but the one with the two guys drinking around a barrel has letters in it. If there was a reference to the TR, possibly it was in this now blank ribbon.

                              And again: i found in my archive this 3 shots about an german Officier (I think Fallschirmjäger or Hermann Goering, note the sleeve band) with a Priest of "Passionisti" order in Falvaterra.
