In May 1945 Soviet troops liberated the Danish island of Bornholm. The German garrison surrendered after a heavy bombardment of Bornholm's cities, i.a. Rønne. In April 1946 - 75 years ago - Soviet troops left Bornholm.

Looking back 75 Years WW2. Normandy, France.
D-Day, June 6, 1944. WW2.
The Mulberry Harbour was built for D-Day in June 1944. The Mulberry Harbour’s purpose was to ease and speed up the unloading process so that Allied troops were supplied as they advanced across France after breaking out from Normandy. The success of D-Day could only be maintained if the advancing troops were supplied and more men landed. The Mulberry Harbour was one of the greatest engineering feats of World War Two.
I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:
Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)
Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon
Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana
Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio
James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska
Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee
Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota
John L. England from Jacksonville Texas
and my uncle Charles Fortney
I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.
Hey guys.
made this guy last week. I think he turned out ok. I know the pouches dont look legit but thats because I made then for a Jap soldier but changed my mind later.
Kaiser Shipyard No. 3 was one of four Kaiser shipyards in Richmond that built Liberty and Victory cargo ships and troop transports during WW2.
Here are some of my new Japanese soldiers, including: Ghillie Sniper, Sgt. or a high rank soldier, a regular soldier, and a messed up pilot. I hope you guys enjoy!
I did it. I built a WW2 MOC. And there are probably more to follow since I’ve quite a few minifigs I’ve never used before.
The minifigs are from TMC and CitizenBrick.

A friend and I were at Bunker Bash 2009, the annual military rally at the former Government bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood in Essex. We had been undecided about going so arrived late and not in the best of weather.
We found an enthusiatic bunch of re-enactors and military vehicles owners covering both World Wars. One part of the site had been laid out as mock entrenchments with various national groups including British, US, German, Soviet and even Serbian forces dug-in.

Been messing with the design a little, now it's purist and has NPU for me by using the hook hands, these little builds may seem simple enough but trust me I mess around with at least 20 variations before finally stopping on one..it takes time and patience at this size when your hands ain't exactly small either.
Will try get a photo in the sun later
