It could very well be either or. Caption said actual and it came from a reputable site, however there is a lot of junk out there anymore. I have seen four pics so far lifted from SPR that were being captioned as "real" combat pics.

This one looked like it could be the real deal so I posted it.

I'd say the the Cologne picture with the hunchin' GI's n' the WP grenade goin' off is the Real McCoy.

I do not remember the river looking that wide when I was there, guess I am getting senile

Imagine how wide it looked for those guys.

That last picture seems to be late war judging by the helmet of the soldier on the left.
