3AD ROMANCE IN WORLD WAR II
Hollywood vs. Reality
(read below)

  The Web Staff wishes to apologize to the director and screenwriters of the 1951 Hollywood film "The Tanks Are Coming," which was an abridged chronicle of the 3AD in WWII. In a posted movie review, we chastised the movie's "ridiculous portrayal of romance in time of war." Well, that was before we received a photo scrapbook from the family of T/5 Clifford R. Evans, Co D, 83rd Recon Bn. Several pictures in that collection showed Evans (in above right photo) and an unidentified Spearhead buddy (left photo) involved in romantic encounters with Belgium damsels in September, 1944, on the road to Germany.
