The first 8 pictures come from Jean Michel Hitter who states: "I found in the papers of my grand father this pictures, Forbach 1945. My large grandfather was called Joseph Hitter (born in 1891). He was a professor of natural science and collected the insects. The photographs were made by my father Rodolphe Hitter (born in 1926), escaped prisoner of Germany November 1944 and hide in Forbach until the arrival of the American troops. A team of first aid (photo of group) had settled in the cellar of the house of my large father, 14 street of Passaga (French name, the Germans had named this street Hans Schlemmstrasse). The house 14 street Passaga had been touched by a shell of 155 German who had not exploded but caused damage (photo of the house, picture "Passaga 14") I found three other photographs" None of the Blazers in these photos are identified.

The last three come Richard Ifenecker. He states, "These pictures are from GROSBLIEDERSTROFF and they was taken in February or March 45. Grosbliederstroff is located near the German border, between Forbach and Saarbrücken. My mother, my tantes and my uncle are on the pics. My mother said that the 2 veterans calls Walter and Coffee (but off course their english in 45 was not so good and probably your soldiers don't speek french) so if we can find out the 2 soldiers, it will be very good.
