Thanx Kosa !
I returned this morning to tielt for some more sights.
First of all i found some plates to remember our liberators and the liberation itself, and honour the fallen brave soldiers in the city during the battle.
I found also the sherman tank next to a monument for the 1st armoured division on the gen.maczek square.
Next are some "then and now" pictures;
First one is taken on 8 september 1944 in the centre of the city.
second is also taken on 8 September 1944 and is on the corner of the "markt and the sint-janstraat".
almost everything is changed at the corner, but you can still clearly see the arched windows at the left and the ironwork just before the windows.
Last one is a photograph of general Maczek on the balcony of the town hall, with the mayor of the city (Mister Colle) and officers from his staff; On 17 December 1944 was Gen.Maczek proclaimed to honorary citizen of the city Tielt. (probably this picture was also taken on this day-17/12/1944)
