A “hybrid” German Tiger I knocked out near the River Aller in northern Germany in April 1945. One British round has clearly penetrated the side of the hull. An abandoned German helmet can be seen on the ground. This Tiger has the older, tall commander’s cupola, telling us it was built before July 1943. However the original road wheels have been exchanged for the newer, steel-rimmed wheels introduced in February 1944.

This is just a rawly emotional photo...no matter what nationality of the soldier, every wounded man in the war did the same...whether out loud or in their head, prayed for salvation. #war #ww2 #worldwar2 #military #army

Petre Dumitrescu was born in Dobridor, Dolj. He began his military training at the Artillery and Engineers Officers' School in 1901, graduating in 1903 with the rank of second lieutenant. Dumitrescu was promoted to lieutenant in 1906 and, five years later, to captain. That year, he was admitted into the Military Academy at Bucharest, graduating in 1913. When World War I started, Dumitrescu was a major. Following the war, he climbed higher and higher in the military hierarchy, becoming a lieutenant colonel in 1920, a brigadier in 1930 and a major general in 1937. Between 1937 and the beginning of World War II, Dumitrescu served as a military attaché in both Paris and Brussels. After returning to Romania from these postings, he was given command of the First Army. On March 25, 1941, he was made commander of the Third Army, a post which he would hold for the duration of the war. On July 5, 1941, Dumitrescu attacked the soviet forces in northern Bukovina and took Cernăuți (Chernivtsi), reclaiming territory occupied by Soviet troops since June 28, 1940. He then crossed the Prut to recover northern Bessarabia. The German Eleventh Army covered Dumitrescu's right flank while he advanced towards the Dniester. At that point his army and the German 11th army switched places, with Italians continuing advancement over the Dniester towards the Southern Bug river, and Dumitrescu remaining on recovered Romanian territory. In September of that year, Dumitrescu repulsed a Soviet attempt to cross the Dniester in the east, behind the Eleventh Army. After Hitler convinced Ion Antonescu to continue the war beyond Romania's pre-1940 borders, Dumitrescu then led the Third Army to the Crimea, taking part in the Battle of the Sea of Azov. By October 10, the Third Army had marched 1,700 kilometres from Romania, fought four major battles and 42 minor engagements. By this time, Dumitrescu's Third Army had inflicted casualties of over 20,000 killed and 40,000 wounded and also captured 15,565 prisoners of war, 149 tanks, 128 artillery pieces, and more than 700 machine guns, while suffering 10,541 casualties (2,555 dead, 6,201 wounded and 1,785 missing in action.)

German infantry use the tank Pz. Kpfw. IV Ausf, V / S as a shelter in the course of a fierce battle on the streets of a Lithuanian village, June 26, 1941. The tactical number “622” is on board of the tank tower. This tank belonged to the 6th Panzer Division, which had to fight with the KV-2 sneakers from the Soviet 2nd Panzer Division.

Up until that fateful month of December, 1941, everything about Friedrich Paulus proved him a remarkably competent officer. Having ended the Great War as a captain, he was one of the only four thousand officers retained in the Reichswehr, which in itself indicates that he was no bumbling idiot.

Erich von Manstein opines:

There are only four types of officer. First, there are the lazy, stupid ones. Leave them alone, they do no harm…Second, there are the hard- working, intelligent ones. They make excellent staff officers, ensuring that every detail is properly considered. Third, there are the hard- working, stupid ones. These people are a menace and must be fired at once. They create irrelevant work for everybody. Finally, there are the intelligent, lazy ones. They are suited for the highest office.

Paulus was very solidly of the second type. He was a brilliant staff officer, who served in various staff positions from 1921 onwards. Guderian, whom Paulus had been the Chief of Staff to his XVI. Armeekorps (mot.) from February 1938 to May 1939, praised him, calling him “brilliantly clever, conscientious, hard working, original and talented”. Back in 1927, it was reported about him:

He is at pains to avoid making enemies. He is slow, but very methodical. He displays marked tactical ability, though he is inclined to spend overmuch time on his appreciation.

At 1946, even von Manstein, the finest of the Wehrmacht, would remark about Paulus, stating that he was ‘a very clever man though perhaps not a very strong character’. Cont in comments

Carl Ludwig "Luz" Long was a German Olympic long-jumper, notable for winning the silver medal in the event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin and for giving technical advice to his competitor, Jesse Owens, who went on to win the gold medal for the long jump. Luz Long won the German long jump championship six times in 1933, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939.
Long served in the Wehrmacht during World War II, having the rank of Obergefreiter. During the Allied invasion of Sicily, Long was killed in action on 14 July 1943. He was buried in the war cemetery of Motta Sant'Anastasia,in Sicily. He was survived by two sons, Kai-Heinrich and Wolfgang. Kai was born on 13 November 1941 and Wolfgang was born on 30 May 1943, but died on 6 March 1944.

Long and Owens corresponded after 1936. In his last letter, Long wrote to Owens and asked him to contact his son after the war and tell him about his father and "what times were like when we were not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth".After the war, Owens travelled to Germany to meet Kai Long, who is seen with Owens in the 1966 documentary Jesse Owens Returns to Berlin, where he is in conversation with Owens in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Owens later served as best man at Kai Long's wedding.
