US Military WWII 635 Tank Destroyer Battalion 6 x 9 cm Black and White Glass Negative of the Operation Briefing Room inside the 635 TD headquarters - ONE OF A KIND, NEVER SEEN BEFOREThis listing is for a one of a kind relic, a genuine original glass black and white negative of the group operations briefing room stage of the WWII US Military 635th Tank Destroyer Battalion. The resultant image shows a soldier attired in fatigues with the well recognized Tank Chewing Cat insignia arm patch standing on a stage. On each side of the soldier are podiums that display the 635 Battalion specific numerical graphics as well as large hand-rendered infamous Tank Division Cat Chewing Tank emblem artwork - the largest I have seen. An amazing piece of history that to my knowledge has not been seen before. The negative is presented below (you will receive without trademarks etc). Please note the modified resultant image presented here has been distorted to preserve the uniqueness of this treasure. The actual resultant image will have all of the areas filled in without lettering, blurring (including soldiers patch, podium artwork) etc. There are some scratches on the negative from age and storage. Keep in mind that this is a large 6 x 9 cm negative that will provide detailed large images.For some brief history, this specific Tank Destroyer Division saw action in WWII including
