I just posted an album with some of my Dad's photos from the 607th. Located here: http://www.ww2f.com/members/natman-albums-607th-tank-destroyer-battalion.html These photos and additional ones, all with more detailed descriptions, are here: 607th Tank Destroyer Battalion - a set on Flickr If anyone has new information on anything in the photos, please let me know. Moderators; if this post is in the wrong place or shouldn't be here at all, please modify as needed.
Quite super photos mate,thanks for letting us see them,cheers.Lee. p.s.The counterweight at the rear of the turret looks heavy,anyone have any idea of the weight.?
Interesting question, Lee. I can't seem to find any info (or photos), but there was room for 11 90mm rounds within the counterweight so it was somewhat hollow.
Very interesting photo's ! I always feel sorry for the fellows who are on the pics but nobody can remember who they were. Thats life..
Superb photos. In future days other family members may recognize ancestors in your collection. Stay tuned! Thanks for sharing! Terrific stuff. I have often thought about what potential is in the offing for Google's Image "search for similar photos" feature.... I did a google image search for "607th tank destroyer battalion" and yours showed up already!!! ===> even though yours are copy protected <=== Something familiar struck me about All sizes | Unknown at tent camp | Flickr - Photo Sharing! I will have to mull this one over... hitting "similar" got me no where... at least as yet...
