Thanks Peter for the pictures,they all seem familar to me,must have seen in books years ago,like shure dont have these saved yet.Maybe have them in these scrap books i made awhile back of FJ pictures,the books came from the library,but dont see them now as to old,and they put them in the basement after a certain time or so i think.

The MG-42 one sort of looks like it could be in tunisia or italy too,the motorcycle guys in normandy and maybe 6th FJ regt or other FJ divsions there going on some of there helmet camo.The 3rd could be italy,france 44 or even elsewhere like holland or germany in 44/45?.
