Gooooooood Monday morning to all. It’s time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week.
I love this late April 1945 shot of Lobenstein, Germany. How picturesque is this quaint little burg?
Dear Mike,
hope you’re doing well.
The accurate location of this picture is Bad Lobenstein, Thuringen, Germany (a few kms west of the Cz border)
A vintage 70′s – 80′s of the same place : http://static0.akpool.de/images/cards/24/249676.jpg

Tristan,
Yes, you are correct. Bad Lobenstein, near the border. Thank you for the current pic, maybe I’ll use it in a future post. Ever been to Bad Lobenstein?
Thanks again,
Mike
I eventually managed to see the article again
I’ve been in Germany several times (Berlin, Kassel, Munich, etc …). I’ve also visited the Merkers Salt Mine. I didn’t know the 90th liberated this place. Imagine how surprised I was when I saw the jeep in the Mine with 90th bumpers markings !
But I’ve never been in Bad Lobenstein.
Best,
Tristan
