Poor jeep.

“These 2 1950’s snapshot photos were taken by a soldier in the 28th Infantry Division 899th AAA Bn. in Germany. The photos show a wrecked jeep and some soldiers. Painted on the front bumper of the jeep is “28 899 AA”. The photos measure approximately 3 1/8 x 4 1/4 inches.”

    I wonder if it was dropped, parachute? There does not appear to be any damage to bumber or sheet metal. Definitely a strange picture.

    At first I thought the same as Mark S. but if you look closely the front lifting loops are not on the bumper…..
    (Doesn’t mean they could not have been removed) but puts some doubt on that scenario.
    Sure was one hell of a drop whatever it was…
