Heidelberg, May 1945
(Source: Author's private collection)
Birds-eye
view from a photo reconnaissance plane of 22nd Photo Recon Sq (7th PR Gp). The town is already occupied by the US Army and clusters of military vehicles are clearly visible in various parts of town.
(I have created some hotspots on the image: move the cursor over the image until you find such a hot spot then click on the image - it will take you to a page that identifies the building (hot spot) and show a closeup image of that building. Will add more hot spots as I identify various buildings used by US Army and other occupation-related agencies that were housed in Heidelberg in the post-war period. INPUT from readers is appreciated!!!)
