TerryG Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Lille again! This is a French town close to my heart so apologies if I bore you a bit more with period photos. This is a series of photos taken by a German soldier in May 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryG Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 These are very small photos so not too clear. This is an interesting shot. The column of prisoners enters the main square in Lille, officers at the front of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryG Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 A close up shows that the French officers at the front of the column, turn to their right, I assume to salute the German officers standing at the left of the photo. The German detachment is also standing to attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
