Westfeldzug Sommer 1940

During World War II, my father was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Found amongst his war memorabilia was a soft covered booklet titled "Marsch und Kampfweg Des Panzerkorps Im Westfeldzug Sommer 1940" detailing the German Panzerkorps campaign during the summer of 1940. He did not like to talk about the war so he never told me how he came into possession of this booklet. I scanned the images and they are published here in the same order that they appeared in the booklet. Some of the photos may be disturbing to some people so do not continue if you are disturbed by images of war and death. To continue viewing, select Photos Page.

For the best viewing, select the full screen option at the upper right of the slide show on the Photos page, then use the scroll function on your mouse or trackball to go forward or back through the images.
