Hey Buck,

All i could find about Merksem is this foto from around 1960, the main road is the Bredabaan where most of the fighting took place in 1944 but it looked different in 1944 than on this foto..the blarge building you see behind the church is the new town hall wich was build after the war.ill keep looking for more usefull pictures..

Isn't there a Belgian official government site, or some kind of national archive to host these images? I'm sure they must be there, in the paper version at least.
