Hi
Found this film on Groningen in WW2. https://www.filmbankgroningen.nl/zoeken/bevrijding Fragment 151 van 249 - AV0119 Groningen in oorlogstijd 1940-1945 J.W. van Dam,1940-1945 From 48:37 to 49:19 there are a number of Canadian tanks (AoS = 51, on with AoS = 50) rounding a corner in a city. AoS = 51 so they could be 6 CAR 1st Hussars, or 21 CAR GGFG, or 2 CAR LdSH Name of one tank STRATHCONA suggests they are LdSH. at 48:40 tank SPARTAN with WD number T228955 suggests LdSH as a tank with this number was turned in at end of war, from the 2CAR (ref Cdn Heritage T-12742 p624) at 49:12 tank ALDER II or III with WD number T288991 suggests LdSH as a tank with this number was turned in at end of war, from the 2CAR (ref Cdn Heritage T-12742 p592) at 49:20 tank ALMOND IV with WD number T232577 suggests LdSH as a tank with this number was turned in at end of war, from the 2CAR (ref Cdn Heritage T-12742 p592) I am trying to determine the city. Here are some screenshots: As the tanks turn the corner they pass some buildings, then a Bakkerij Automatiek, and next to it an Albino store. My Dutch isn;t very good, but I was able to determine that Albino had about a hundred stores in the northern Netherlands provinces, but got bought out in the late 1940s. Appreciate if anyone can identify the city, and even the street! Thanks Peter Williams |
