Nice pics!

Pay a visit to the 360-cinema by Arromanches if you like the "Yesterday-Today" perspective. They had some really good transitions between WWII and recent time!

[Slinky]

[iGrooCk]

[sgt mike]

U.S troops caught in the German advance, somebody needed boots so they took them.

[G-Capo]

Great images.

[Uninen]

"Then and Now", they have IIRC in axishistory forum in their "panzer" section an awsome topic about the subject, as sticky.

Looks like the one german in pic #1 is lacing up some new boots?

[uglybaby]

Yeah. He needed the boots more than they did. Looting always follows war. We did it to dead Germans too. My Grandfather didn't get his souveniers at Hurtegen from the store.

[bigjeff]

It's so sensational to see the difference.

[sir-chimp]

Great site but I've seen those...

I'm looking for people to post ones that they have taken and compare them with the historical ones.
