      <image:caption>A colourized photo of my relative George Trumpess, on the right, part of the 1st Special Wireless Group. The tank is a Cromwell of the Armoured Recce Regiment, 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars, 7th Armoured Division. The division was in Berlin to take part in the victory parade of July 1945. Looks like George and his comrade are both armed with Sten sub-machine guns.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Battlefront Photography - Omaha Beach (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Omaha Beach Original World War Two photograph of US troops as they approach Omaha Beach on the morning of June 6 1944. My Dad was a member of the 1st Infantry Division and was in the first wave landing on Omaha Beach. After seeing Private Ryan I asked him if he thought he'd live to see the next morning and he said "no". When I asked him how he survived he said "nothing hit me". He also said anyone who was there and says they weren't scared shitless, didn't cry like a baby and didn't piss in their pants was a liar. He went on to fight at St Lo, Aachen and the Battle of the Bulge. His squad took a direct mortar hit during the fighting in the Ardennes. Of the 8 men in his squad he was the only survivor but spent 2 years in an Army hospital. He was awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Croix de Guerre. Dad passed away last June 8th an hour and 15 minutes short of his 90th birthday.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bloody Omaha Troops from the US 1st Infantry Division (the Big Red One) land on Omaha Beach (Bloody Omaha) during the morning of D-Day, June 6 1944. This photograph was taken by Robert F. Sargent. My grandfather landed on Omaha Beach the morning of June 6 1944, but sadly he didn’t make it. His best friend told my grandmother that they could hear machine gun fire hitting the front of the boats, then when the ramp went down the bullets poured in and killed about two thirds of the men in the boat [including my grandfather]. I’m happy he served, god bless him and all the other brave men of World War 2. Dillon Jacques, 2012</image:caption>

Ten of which had been knocked out by Soviet troops and thirteen were blown up after breaking down, to prevent their capture. Visit Tanks Encyclopedia</image:caption>

      <image:title>Battlefront Photography - Tiger Tank (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tiger Tank The most feared and respected tank of World War II was unarguably the German Panzerkampfwagen VI or Tiger I. The Tiger tank quickly gained a reputation in Soviet Russia during 1943 and 1944. The fearsome 88mm gun gave the Tiger a clear reach advantage over its Soviet opponents. Often faced by inferior equipment and poorly trained men, German tank crews and individual tank commanders were able to amass impressive combat scores, numbering hundreds of “kills”. The concept of the “Tank Ace” was born and ruthlessly exploited for propaganda purposes. Occasionally just the sight of a German Tiger would make Soviet tanks withdraw.</image:caption>

The beach was defended by two battalions of the German 716th Infantry Division, with elements of the 21st Panzer Division held in reserve near Caen. The landings initially encountered heavy resistance from the German 716th Division. Several assault companies, notably those of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles and The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, took heavy casualties. However, the Canadians won the day and moved inland within hours of landing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Battle of Stalingrad The German offensive to capture Stalingrad began in late summer 1942, using the 6th Army and elements of the 4th Panzer Army. The attack was supported by intensive Luftwaffe bombing that reduced much of the city to rubble.  In November 1942 the Red Army launched Operation Uranus, a two-pronged counterattack that eventually surrounded the 6th Army. By February 1943 the exhausted remnants of the 6th Army surrendered. The Soviet Red Army smashed the perception of German invincibility at Stalingrad. The battle cost millions of casualties but is widely regarded as the turning point of World War Two.</image:caption>

      <image:title>George Trumpess, No. 1 Special Wireless Group - Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium), Berlin (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium), Berlin The capacity of the Olympiastadion reached 110,000 spectators. It also possessed a special stand for Adolf Hitler and his political associates. At its end, aligned with the symmetrically-designed layout of the buildings of the Olympischer Platz and toward the Maifeld, was the Marathon Gate with a big receptacle for the Olympic Flame. The SS used the stadium in the last weeks of the war to execute over 200 people, many of them teenagers. After the Soviets had drawn back their forces from this part of Berlin, British troops occupied the premises on July 1st 1945. Visit the Olympiastadion website to learn more</image:caption>
