I got this off another forum. It has 58 photos total but has the unit history in the front of the album. Some really good photos but here are a few.

G.I. added a description on a few photos ? Very nice historical and well kept piece of militaria..
Thank you for sharing... Gwar
great pics thanks.
The one labeled tiger tank is a russian t34. Rob.
Good album.
I have always thought that these soldier albums are vastly under appreciated. They give a person an real View of just what the soldiers were seeing and experiencing. Scenes and images that never made Time Life and Signal magazines. People back home never got to see what their men were in and part of every day. I especially am struck by the 1st photo of the girl in front of the rubble. Is there any info on the backs of the photos telling where and when they were taken?

Very nice album. I have a few myself and am always on the lookout for ones covering the southern sector of the Westwall. An area I frequent as the C O's family reside there.
William I have not removed the photos for inspection. There are about 20 pages of unit information bound into the first part of the album. I will post some of it when I can.
A couple more photos from the album. It has a great deal of destruction photos in it. Notice the rail car with artillary shells scattered.
