Liege, Belgium September 8, 1944 |
The photos above were taken on rue de Fetinne (Fetinne's Road) in Liege on September 8, 1944. |
There is some question whether the next three photos are US Army Signal Corps photos, photos by Belgian citizens, or a combination of the two. |
The bow gunner on a Sherman tank opens fire at a sniper hiding in Englebert's Tire Factory on rue de Fetinne. |
The main gun fires, which understandably startles the photographer who moves the camera causing the blurred photo. |
The tanks have moved forward, closer to the factory, while "Blitz-doughs" from the 36th Armored Infantry Regiment provide cover from the corner where the tank first fired. |
