Camera found lost in the Battle of the Bulge

I started this forum for any collecting hobby and it turned into my camera collecting and using forum. I use it mostly to keep a record of my photo adventures. Nobody but me seems to have photo adventures that visit here....but however. I have so many cameras now that I forget which is which and which ones work and which ones don't. If you have cameras and adventures you would be welcome to post here.

Camera found lost in the Battle of the Bulge

This is a believe it or not story. A camera lost by a soldier killed in the Battle of the Bulge was recovered in recent times and the film developed. There were still images remaining on the film. Looks like from an old 116, 120, or like size, folding camera.
