D OUBLE Deucers drove through snow, rain, and mud, deeper and deeper into the Rhineland. Germans fought and fell back from village to village; nowhere did they stand more than a day. On Feb. 9, the 8th crossed the Prum River. Two days later, the 22nd took Prum.
I'd like to see a 1945 "then" shot of Prum Abbey.



EDIT, oh look ATB no 46

Cheers Dave, I really should invest in more issues of ATB and plan my holidays rather better.
Then again the day we went to Prum we were meant to meet up with Rich Payne but he was ill.
