I had to look it up. Really interesting. Never knew of this attack.

Yes, they did. But according to the documentary I saw, you can only stay inside a certain distance without masks for a very short time, and no one is allowed inside the gates after dark.

They're Canadian and that's from the Dieppe Raid in August 1942....

It didn't exactly work...

Canadians or Australians, then.

Tank is Churchill - probably not Australians.

North Africa or Dieppe.

(ETA: Dammit Darth, if you'd give me a minute or two...)

That DID look like a maple leaf on the front of the tank.

Top picture is Panzer IIIs (German) - Poland was in late Summer, France was in early Summer - so Russia (41/42)?

I have a red "x" for the second one.

Third one - look German in their winter camo, but, really could be Russian, too.

Not sure why you're getting the red x. These were all taken from a site based on the Nazi invasion of Russia and the fighting on the Eastern front.

Picture 1.
That's a Pz. Kk III so I'm going to say Eastern front sometime around late 1942 and early 1943.

Picture 2.
That's a Pz Mk. VI Tiger. The fact it's equipped with smoke grenade launchers tells me that picture is probably no earlier than late 1944. I believe that picture would be somewhere around eastern Poland perhaps?

Picture 3
That appears to be Soviet infantry during a city battle. Hard to tell any detail other than it's winder so I'll guess either Stalingrad or perhaps the battle of Kharkov

I can only see the first one. Work filters are blocking the other 2 for me.

I want that to be Hiroshima, but I don't think we could have gotten an overhead picture like that.

I'm aware the a-bomb was a much bigger explosion. Was thinking initial impact.
