101st Airborne paratroopers pose with members of the Dutch Resistance in Eindhoven during Operation Market Garden

NOTE: This has to be one of the coolest photos we have run across. The poses are so hard. Apparently liberating a country or two will give you that confidence!

I especially appreciate the middle resistance fighter’s choice of wardrobe. Nice suit, nice tie, nice collar. The guy even has a high quality leather strap for his weapon and knows how to pose with it.
