Rubble in France and Belgium

Modern apartment buildings as the soldiers leave Paris. The Reims Cathedral. Rubble and destroyed buildings. Back in Belgium. Soldiers pack up trucks, smoke cigarettes, and joke around. Ruins in the countryside as they enter Germany. Murray Goldblatt was U.S. soldier who served during World War II in Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia and Germany from 1943 to 1945, most likely with the 15th Finance Corps. Born in Brooklyn to a Jewish family, Murray worked in the family's hardware store before enlisting with the Army on January 23, 1943. After his release on December 27, 1945, Murray returned to New York and later settled in Princeton, NJ with longtime partner Jim Kane. He was an accountant by profession and active in GPP (Gay People of Princeton). Murray rarely spoke of his experiences during World War II even though he documented his travels on five reels of film with his personal movie camera.
