My uncle was one of those WW2 vets who never talked about it - with two exceptions:

1) The liberation of a concentration camp.

2) The terror felt upon hearing the dive of a Stuka.

I’m not sure but believe the tank picture in #8 looks more like a ‘Panther’ medium tank and not the heavy Tiger II as labeled.

It's funny how the sound of a "jericho" horn on a Stuka became so ingrained in the public conscious that most movies featuring dive bombing assume that's what dive-bombing sounds like no matter what bomber it is.
