Four-star General reveals horrendous WWII scenes in never-before-seen photographs (PHOTOS)

The photos were previously banished for containing confidential information.

Four-star General Charles Day Palmer detailed the fights in Western Front during World War II by taking snapshots of the bombed-out cities and lifeless bodies. He kept personal photos of the battlefields in Germany and France and is now releasing them to the public for the first time. It is believed that these photographs could provide light on the horrendous bloodshed and violence that enveloped Europe during the Nazi era.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Palmer's grandson, Daniel Palmer shared his grandfather's never-before-seen photography on his website Argunners.com, as was reported on Daily Mail.

General Charles Day Palmer was born February 20, 1902 in Chicago, Illinois and studied at the U.S Military Academy. He graduated in 1924.

Palmer worked in the British West Indies during the break-out of World War II and helped establish military bases, as well as run projects on anti-submarine warfare. He was also involved in plans to invade Europe when the U.S entered the war in 1941.

Palmer was named Chief-of-Staff of the Second Armored Division and took part in the invasion of Normandy. He transferred as Chief-of-Staff of VI Corps in October 1944 and was promoted to the level of Brigadier General.

Palmer's pictures of World War II weren't allowed to be published for many years because they were deemed confidential, but now his family has been allowed to share them to the public after some censorship of information from the photos.

Some of Palmer's photography of World War II included bloody casualties, bombed-out cities and photos of weary men. He also took photos of forest burials, where one shows an American soldier decorating the grave of an unknown U.S soldier, who was buried by the enemy before retreating.

One other released World War II photo is that of a fort showing a pillbox located on the edge, which was damaged probably because of an American tank fire.
