Daily Reports... WWII

Yes they did blogging in WWII. Well, sort of...

Here are the daily reports (converted to html) of the 654th Tank Destroyer Battalion which was attached to the 4th Armored Division while going across France and into Germany.

The dates on the calendar span from 12 July 1944 to 8 November 44. Just click on one of the days within that range.

"The flag waving, kissing and heroism stuff is out from here out. We are approaching the German Frontier, and the people are becoming more distant. A blind man could see the difference. Orders have been issued to the effect that all civilians will be considered subversive regardless, until proven otherwise."
