April 26, 1942: The Reichstag holds its last session, unanimously passing a decree making the Führer "Supreme Judge of the German People." Any last privileges of the parliament were removed as Hitler became final decision-maker in all matters, including life and death over every German citizen.

1日1ミリ。シチリア、アチリアーレの街で防衛線を張るドイツ軍降下猟兵部隊の7.5cm対戦車砲PAK40。防盾の内側に戦車の絵が貼られている。チャーチル、M3リー/グラント、M4シャーマン。敵の戦車の弱点を色分けしたもので、エッジが少しめくれていることから、ペイントや琺瑯プレートのようなパーマネントのものでなく紙に印刷されたシートだと推測できる。
アフリカ・チュニジアの戦いで得た情報を元にシチリアの防衛隊に周知すべく急ぎ印刷して配布したのだろう。

1日1ミリ。1943年8月。シチリア島カターニアから撤退したドイツ軍がアチレアーレ(Acireale)で防衛ラインを張る。アチリアーレの大聖堂を望む坂道を横切るのはヘルマンゲーリング師団のIII号突撃砲F/8型。
坂道の下にはバリケードが見え、突撃砲は坂の途中の路地に隠れるためバックしているところか。坂道に合わせて揺動幅の大きいトーションバーサスペンションが効いている。こうした場所ではリーフスプリングサスペンションのIV号戦車よりIII号突撃砲の使い勝手が良かったことが伺える。

PAK40の転輪はオープンスポークの後期型タイプ。各地を転戦してきたのかソリッドタイヤのゴムがだいぶ摩耗している。
写真の場所は判明している。大聖堂から真っ直ぐに伸びるウンベルト通りが終わる辺りで、小さな広場にバリケードを構築している。コンクリートの胸壁に設けられた銃眼にはMG42。状況に応じて角材を積んで通行を遮断するのだろう。
昨日の写真のバリケードは同じく大聖堂から放射状に伸びるもう一本の主要街路となるサボイア通りだろう。どちらも丘を背にして後ろを取られる恐れの少ない場所であることが地図から読み取れる。

As I think I have now pointed out a few times (but still find it amazing I wait here for the bus at the end of an archive day) the spot where my parents first met in 1967 (or maybe 1966, not sure). It wasn't a bus stop then, it was the taxi stand for the US Army barracks where my dad was stationed.
