Picture of the day

Canadian troops posing with a captured German flag, near Hautmesnil, France, 10 Aug 1944
 
Not so bad on a sunny day.
ASA 100 on a sunny day is 1/60 sec exposure at f16
ASA 50 is 1/60 sec at F11
ASA 25 is 1/60 sec at f8
ASA 10-12 is 1/60sec at f5.6 or 1/30 sec at F8, subjects posing.
Most period shutters speeds are 1/50 sec, but close enough.

I cannot imagine how hot , sweaty and totally uncomfortable that heavy wool battledress was in the hot summer heat ,the High Top Canadian boots were a excellent idea , looked good too, but these boots never seem replace the low cut boots with web anklets , and then the post war army went back to puttees, go figure that one

I wonder what went into those 4 empty shelves. "Defensive" System .... my axx.
 
Nah. Playboy magazines. (Hustler magazine only started in 1974. B-58 retired from service Jan.1, 1970.) :)

I would think maps and intel on soviet air defense placements and specs.

There is plug in at the rear of the shelves. This likely the spots for secure means and the command control system connected to the national nuclear attack system.
