Trucks awaiting export...
Here's a picture of trucks (and a couple of cars) awaiting export. The picture came from the book "Seaport" about the New York waterfront. The caption writer erred, calling the time era "mid 1920's."

Re: Trucks awaiting export...
Looking at the trucks/car models, from here it appears to be around 1937.

Re: Trucks awaiting export...
The war in Europe started when German solders invaded Poland September 1, 1941, I was three.
The lend Lease act was signed into Law by President Roosevelt March 11, 1941. The United States supplied materials to the United Kingdom, Soviet Union, China and Free France from 1941 to 1945. The United State declared war on the Empire of Japan December 8, 1941 a day after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. Japan signed the unconditional surrender September 2, 1945 I was nine.

Since you were only 3, your excused from knowing that the Germans invaded Poland on Sept 1 of 1939. By Sept 1941 they were well into Russia and about to learn a terrible lesson.

Re: Trucks awaiting export...
Stenny, Yor are correct! I corrected my statement and I knew that. (brain Fart) :-)
Seems I have to reread everything I type several times and I still miss things. Oh well guess I'll never work in the space program! |
