Original Photos

This appears to be a photo of NCOs receiving their pay. An Officer oversees matters.

The cream of the wehrmacht! Note the motley assortment of clothing including 'tank top', leather belt
and house slippers!

A squad takes a break from training with their veteran Unteroffizier. These could well be pioniers due to the
dark soutache on the NCO's feldmutze and around some of the shoulderboards.

Another squad training. Does anyone know what the rifles are? I thought they were Gewehr 98s,
but look at the one one the right hand end.

Troops posing with a field telephone.

These four photos are dated June 1941. Whilst the Wehrmacht was busy invading the Soviet Union
these NCOs were obviously busy honing their equestrian skills!




A very early picture of Panzertruppen posing with a truck. Note the lack of eagle and swastikas
on their berets and wraps.

behind the group is a Panzer 1.
