90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week: Susice, Czechoslovakia.

Monday morning already?  Yep, and time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week.

I love this photo.  You can almost feel the excitement as 90th ID soldiers gather in the town square at Susice, Czechoslovakia to listen to Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s legendary VE Day speech, informing the world of Germany’s defeat.  And what a beautiful clock tower.  Perhaps one of our European followers could give us a more modern shot of the town square?
