Rare, odd, and funny Wehrmacht photos...

[gi-rene]

These are ones found by the peeps at WW2 in color forums:

Something about the one guy thats different. Didn't quite get it, but an interesting photo nonetheless:

No comment... A rant maybe? Speech Practice?


Amazing to see the small and big and big and small members of the Wehrmacht!




Ostfront vet? Or... I didn't know Panzermacher was on the forums!


Bruce Willis on the left?! Ironically one of the German units has a game on their forums where they find a Wehrmacht servicemember that resembles them. They've found tons of pictures from all kinds of armies and wars and how they resemble each other is just scary: According to the poster:

It is Oberstleutnant Schulz , Regimentskommandeur of Panzerregiment 25 . This pic must have been taken between 6th and 11 July 1943 near Kursk

A lighter moment in Norway:

Some real bombshells!


Posing with some "modern" artillery at Norway (man on the left seems to be wearing either a dirty or dyed drill uniform):


German Soldiers getting Cabin Fever (or something) in Norway:





I guess fat reenactors have a little justification:

Something I learned about the Wehrmacht, the buddy system is essential, pieces of combat gear can't be put on while you are wearing it, by yourself:




Footcare is essential!

The new... "WinoPanzer"


Lend Lease?

Veritable Classic:


Good way to relax:


I think he's missing something:


Landser know when its time for bed:


WOAH!


Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, its off to work we go:


Aquiline features for sure:


Herr Chef Boyardee strikes again!

I think this one is captioned well enough, notice the undyed drill uniforms. They were a white HBT uniform to be used in garrison, they were later dyed for field use as a summer uniform until the German army produced "combat" HBT uniforms


Dry bread!


An odd tropical uniform:


Wait 30 minutes before you go back in the lake!


Herr is not impressed...


I'm not going to ask...


Good ALARM practice men... now get dressed...



And they thought US Marines started the gas mask picture in the barracks shtick:

Hmmm haven't seen too many posed studio photos in a Mantel before:


Even the horse must be prepared against chemical weapons...


Landser, probably on the OstFront:


Erich Hartmann, the day of his 300th Kill:
