Hi Jürg,

Great site! I didn't get to get into it that much because I'm currently at work, but what I saw was very interesting. I do have a question, however. When I clicked on the thumbnails it would shoot me to the top of the page, but didn't show a larger version of the image. My network here at work may not be making something work so I don't know if it is me or not. Does anyone else have that problem?

Just read your article and watched the link. Didn't see anything about North Africa or Italy.

The 34th Inf. Divn, was the first to be swent to the ETO. Made landings in No. Africa and

Italy with over 600 days of combat. We didn't make it to Normandy,etc,etc, No. Africa has

been quoted as the forgotten front. just an old dogface of the 34th.

I am sorry but I did not made it to Northafrica so far! I am working on it. However, as the Westerfront is far closer to where I live, I will focus on those sites.

Captain - It's your work environment restrictions, as you guessed. Thumbnail blow-ups working fine on this end.

Rocky my dear, you have to remember that many of the people who frequent our site and pay tribute to the WWII veterans and battles which ensued, do not live in Italy. They are from northern France, Belgium, etc., and are covering the history which incurred in their countries.

 

If I can speak for Juerg and his fellow historians, I know they mean no disrespect. As I stated before, I'm sure I am going to catch flak for not covering various units etc. in my documentary, but as above, it is not meant to be comprehensive.
