The Road Back:

Convoy through bombed out city Collage of Cologne, Germany wreckage

With such destruction all around in the city of Köln (Cologne), Germany it is a miracle that the famous medieval twin spires cathedral survived the bombs.

Two soldiers survey destroyed German gun fortification

Group of refugees on the road

Captured Russian T-34 use by Germans-destroyed

Two 275th personnel survey the remains of a German fortified gun enplacement, called a pillbox.

A common sight was refugees.

Germans used this captured Russian T-34 against us, but the once a fierce foe, is now just scrap metal.
