 There
were so many pictures of Herman Andrew Helfrich in England and Europe that
it is only appropriate to set up a separate page for those pictures only.
We hope you enjoy them.
We would like to think of this as a page of history for our children and grandchildren. This picture to the left of Herman Andrew Helfrich was taken in 1946 in Rheims, France.
He wrote on the back of the picture that he did not know the picture was being taken. Doesn't he look like the tough top sergeant? Well, he was a first sergeant. |

1948 - Siegfried Line
The Siegfried Line was
instrumental during WW II in
1944 and 1945 in Europe. It was constructed in the period after the remilitarisation of the Rhineland in 1936, and it stretched for 300 miles from the north to the Swiss Border and contained about 14,000 pillboxes. The line was, apparently, a formidable defense for the Germans and was very effective in keeping Allied tanks from entering Germany, per Herman Andrew Helfrich. He took this picture.
