Some of the best images in my collection come from my grouping of 42nd Rainbow Division negatives. A stunning range of images depicting combat situations, German POW’s, disabled tanks, downed planes, the Dachau liberation, and many other amazing scenes. The quality is superb.
How do I get to the dachau photos my father was there as an MP on the day of liberation.
My father, PFC Ernest Cuccaro, was a member of the 222nd. He was at the Battle of the Bulge and Dachau, and later spent time in Austria during the occupation. I just recently secured all his combat and service decorations (which were either lost or never awarded). I’m creating a shadowbox display that will include the medals, his uniform shirt, discharge documents, and burial flag (he passed in 2006). I look forward to seeing more images of his regiment, company and division, and to hearing from anyone who may have known him.
