Follow the 275th in Europe captured through the lens of a "liberated" German
Leica camera on "liberated" German film by a member of the 275th AFA Bn,
T/5 Phillip Millspaugh. The next few pages show scenes from Belgium, through
the Rhineland, into central Germany and back. He has captured his young GI
buddies at work, at play, including scenes that shocked them, some taken
during a trip to visit Buchenwald concentration camp.
This talented and resourceful radio telegraph operator transferred
into the 275th after the Army discontinued the ASTP program. Using developer and fixers sent to him by his
mother he developed
many of the photographs overseas. (Phils mother must have been resourceful, also. Those items were hard to get during
the war.) In addition to recording these delightful photos, Phillip
managed to find time to earn college credits in economics by correspondence.
