Harry Yeide Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Due to Apple's "upgrade" from .Mac to the self-indulgent "MobileMe," the software I've used to build and maintain my web site appears to be going away. I have had to reconstruct the thing in iWeb (bleach). The new address is: World War II History by Harry Yeide. To encourage folks to visit and update any links to my page, I've added a bunch of pictures to the "More Tank Photos" and "More TD Photos" sections. Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aco4bn187inf Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Lots of great photos on the site. Nice to see the amphibious vehicles. By the way, Harry, do your books cover the use of amtraks in the ETO? I've seen a few photos of their use in Holland, and wondered how many units actually had them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Nice site, great photos, but the dark background makes the text hard to read. Maybe its my computer or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commonwealth forces used amtracs in Holland. For the Roer River crossing, the 739th Tank Battalion supplied twenty-seven tank drivers to operate LVTs, which ferried personnel and equipment across the Rriver during the assault. The swift current forced the battalion to discontinue use of the LVTs. The 747th Tank Battalion was issued LVTs for the Rhine crossing, and between 24 and 26 March made 1,112 roundtrips across the Rhine in support of the Ninth Army. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Yeide Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 It may look a tad familiar now.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aco4bn187inf Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the amtrak info! Here's a bit of footage on youtube you might be interested in, if you haven't seen it already. The second half of the clip is a propaganda piece about the M10 showing the crew loading and firing during training. Pretty neat I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
