Gunter, glad to see the photos put up on your web page and that you were glad to receive them. I have two more photos taken by Pvt Joe Summers of the 17th Airborne. I received these photos from his daughter and was allowed to scan them into the computer in order to have and to share with anyone who may like them. I will send you two more. One photo is of Marlene Dietrich and an unknown soldier in front of a parachute. The second photo is of Mickey Rooney. Joe Summers is the photographer standing next to Mickey Rooney with the camera. I have photos taken by Joe Summers during Operation Varsity. I will send them to you if you would like them. Have a good day and I enjoy your website very much. Marty Cavanah
Dear Marty, Thank you for the pictures. And yes I am happy to be able to share these never published before photos. To say the true … I am feeling like a young trout in a mountain fountain.
Gunter

As far as I know – Mickey Rooney was in the USO Tours on the ETO like Marlène or Bob Hope. Joe Summers was in the 17th Abn Divisioln (193rd or 194th Glider Infantry). For more infos you should contact Marty or Cindy
