Yet another tour de force of superb photos recording key points in history.

Often the key role played by the Soviets in WW II is forgotten by Americans;  thus, I am particularly grateful for the shot you included of Kharkov.

Paulus' Sixth Army, supported by SS units, would overrun Kharkov, probably killing most of the soldiers in the photo.

But the Wehrmacht would get their just deserts shortly afterwards in Stalingrad, where Hitler made the critical error of using his mobile, mechanized armor to engage in street fighting.

Also, grateful for the photo of Falaise.  Again, the Wehrmacht was deservedly smashed.  This time by a pincer of US, British, Canadian, and Polish troops which obliterated the Germans as a military force in Normandy.  One could walk down the main Falaise Road and could not avoid stepping on a dead German soldier with every step.

Thanks again for selecting key historical photos!
