Then and Now

The now classic masterpiece first printed 1984. Very heavy with its 544 pages crammed with pictures in the ”then and now” format.  This is a must to have!

Battle of the Bulge

Battle of the Bulge - Through the lens by Philip Vorwald


This book presents locations in alphabetical order, the precise location where each picture was taken with instructions on how to get there. Almost like a guide book. It uses the same ”then and now” format as the other ”after the battle” publications.

Visions from a Foxhole

By William A. Foley Jr.


A rifleman tells the story of the bloody fight to break through the Siegfried line. Eighteen-year-old William Foley was afraid the war would be over before he got there, but he was sent straight to the front lines in the Saar-Moselle Triangle, arriving January 25, 1945 - just in time to join the 94th Infantry Division. By the time Foley managed to grab a few hours' sleep three nights later, he'd already fought in a bloody attack that left sixty percent of his battalion dead or wounded.


William Foley’s account of what he experienced as a replaclement in 94th is fascinating. Also his art work describing this also in pictures is breathtaking.
