65th Infantry Division Veteran Video Links

Found online by Facebook volunteer Steve Schell

Amazing footage from May 1945, showing General Patton escorting Soviet officers in a troop review which appear to be the 65th Infantry in Linz, Austria.

After conducting further research, the troops in review are the 65th Infantry. The attached picture (from Camp Shelby archives) shows the same event with the same Soviet Generals in a still photo. You can clearly see the Halbert on the men's uniforms!

Henry-  

I am really interested in History, especially WWII. I have also always collected autographs. The reason I started collecting these autographs is because each of these autographs is a piece of history. It is really fun to get an autograph, and think, they were there. They saw this history. I have autographs from D-Day veterans, Pearl Harbor survivors, Battle of the Bulge veterans, and so much more. My hope is that this history will live on through this binder.
