Wow. That does not look like Zhukov. Where is Za. He will confirm.

 

A few Achen pictures. Any idea when?

 

I like, keep em' coming!

 

Thank you Skipper,
Your knowledge is impressive!!!!

 

Your're welcome. Sorry for the spelling, it is "Oberst" btw. I'll look for more after work

 

About (Sept-)Oct 1944 or a bit later I´d suppose.

Battle of Aachen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

you beat me on that one Kai. I agree that October 1944 would be correct. I believe this would be after the German final surrender of the city, on October 22nd.

 

the man holding the horse is an aide de camp. Zhukov had better things to do then walk around with a present for Bradely. I will try to find out the name (a difficult quest ) . The date could be June 1945 (around Potsdam?)

 

Zhukov parading on his white horse with his Generals at the victory parade in June 1945!
The brown horses look excactly like the one on the portrait (same saddle, same blanket too)

Name of the horse? How about "Ike"...

 

Patton? [WAGOOMB]

...and wasn't that Konev



rather than Zhukov?





From Time.com

In World War II Konev commanded the north flank of Zhukov's famous counterattack which thrust the Germans back from Moscow in December 1941. Assigned to the Kursk front, he commanded the Second Ukrainian Army, which breached the German defenses and liberated Belgorod and Kharkov. In 1944 he won his greatest victory at Korsun-Shevchenkovsky, where in mud and blizzard his Soviet force encircled and destroyed ten German divisions. From there he went on to force the Dnieper, the Bug and the Dniester, and after liberating North Moldavia, his troops crossed Poland and became the first Russians to reach the Elbe, where his 58th Guards Division linked up with the U.S. 69th Division. Here Konev met General Bradley, presented him with a Cossack charger (the name Konev is derived from kon, a stallion).

It appears that your photo may be mis-labeled.

-whatever

sure looks like him, but anyway, back to the horses name????

trigger?

 

I think it would rather be a Russian name like "Tsar" or "Dawai"

 

On the bottom of the photograph says 'Zhukov' - looks like my fathers handwriting and not that of the photographers. Very possible that my Father mis-labeled. Hard to believe though b/c he was the 'KING' of WW 2 stuff. He is probably rolling around in his grave right now - a man that never liked to be corrected.

 

What about "Josef"?

 

On the first trio of photos that's not Zhukov, but another Marshall which I'll be able to identify in due course (they were not that many). In the pic mentioned above it's Zhukov, yes, and Mar. Rokossovsky.

What a treasure of pics you have! You give a me new definition for the word "Envy"

 

I confirm Rokossovsky was also at the Victory parade of June 25th. he was riding a brown horse by the way.

 

Any ideas as to where these photos were taken???

 

great pics! sorry i can't help out, but i'm sure someone on thos site will very soon!
i'll be eagerly awaiting!
btw where did you get the photos?
