I hadn't realised we had a segregated army, necessitating "Camp" Urinals

Hi Matt...long time. As I read it, it was just Jews, not accounting for other "undesirables". I'll try and check that one out.

The minutes recorded there are very harrowing: Approximately 11 million Jews will be involved in the final solution of the European Jewish question, distributed as follows among the individual countries: Country Number A. Germany proper 131,800 Austria 43,700 Eastern territories 420,000 General Government 2,284,000 Bialystok 400,000 Protectorate Bohemia and Moravi 74,200 Estonia - free of Jews - Latvia 3,500 Lithuania 34,000 Belgium 43,000 Denmark 5,600 France / occupied territory 165,000 unoccupied territory 700,000 Greece 69,600 Netherlands 160,800 Norway 1,300 B. Bulgaria 48,000 England 330,000 Finland 2,300 Ireland 4,000 Italy including Sardinia 58,000 Albania 200 Croatia 40,000 Portugal 3,000 Rumania including Bessarabia 342,000 Sweden 8,000 Switzerland 18,000 Serbia 10,000 Slovakia 88,000 Spain 6,000 Turkey (European portion) 55,500 Hungary 742,800 USSR 5,000,000 Ukraine 2,994,684 White Russia excluding Bialystok 446,484 Total over 11,000,000 Yes it included 330,000 from the UK. Such Ayrian efficiency. There is much info to be found for a "Wannsee Conference" search.

Yes, The villa, at 56-58 Am Grossen Wannsee, was built in 1914. In January 1992, on the 50th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, the Villa was opened to the public as a memorial and education centre.

So would this be the Tank Museum Achilles ?

It would be impolite NOT to join us.

Wannsee Conference. On this day in 1942 SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich held a 90 minute meeting at 56-58 Am Grossen Wannsee, a villa in a quiet residential street near the great lake of the same name, not far from the popular Wannsee beach. The meeting minuted by SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann (Head of Referat IV B4 of the Gestapo), was to change the world, and 11 million people were to feel its effects. The meeting was recorded as the “Wannsee Protocol". It became known as the Wannsee Conference. A decision had been made to the "Jewish question." They were simply to be “evacuated to the East." Years later we would come to know this decision as the Final Solution or Holocaust.

Yes you need a licence to hold the cartridges.

My typo, thanks Joris. 2 of three regiments of the 106th Inf Div

Just one year before, on 16th Jan 1944 Eisenhower became Supreme Allied Commander.

It seems so long ago now, the run-up to Christmas, the celebrations, then New Years and Hogmanay, and back to work. On this day in 1945 The Battle of the Bulge that continued through that same time frame, was just coming to a close. On this day in 1945 1st Army and 3rd Armys met at Houffalize, the Battle was effectivly won. It would not finally cease until the 25th but today was the turning point, the Germans were in full retreat. Never to recover. Starting on one of the snowiest days in memory the Germans opened their Ardennes Offensive on Dec 16th, by January 16th they would have suffered 15,652 dead, lost 610 tanks and over a 1000 planes destroyed. Nearly 30,000 captured or missing and 41,600 wounded. American losses too were significant, 19,276 dead, 23,218 captured or missing and 47,493 wounded. Thay also lost 730 tanks. Two whole divisions surrendered. The one month long conflict was the most bloody battle American Forces fought in WWII, the amount of American dead was unsurpassed by any other engagement. The British too lost: 200 dead, 1400 wounded and missing. It was quite a month.

Oh! That Chair, That picture !!

..........................and I have a video copy to remember the event. Your first daughter being born ? Kinda Weird.

agreed

16's were basically 3's modified to Multiple Gun Motor Carrage status. The addition of the Quad 50 was the basis of the conversion. 16's came in different flavours where minor body changes were made. principally the addition of a rear door.

As Kewelde said: FIRST state your objective !

Jack do be careful, its one of the 7 deadly sins. You'll be punished in Hell: You'll be put in freezing water.

Seems very fair. Wouldn't be right for Jack to pay for it all.
