A wounded man being either loaded in or out a boxcar
This photo had be Ostfront, note the Cyrillic lettering on the boxcar

Heer troops with a PaK 37 hunkered down behind field modified armor plates
My guess would be this photo was Ostfront as well

An antiaircraft crew with an MG34 fitted with aerial sights.



A Panzer IV crewmen having a "bucket bath" near a quarter sheet shelter
This photo seems to suggest Panzer crews camped with their tanks on flat cars during transport.

The tanker cars on either side appear to be made of wood, like a large wooden barrel. That would not be useful for carrying fuel, but it would be good for carrying water. Trains full of water and the apparent heat may indicate desert operations or perhaps southern Russia during the summer.

Since they are wearing helmets they are in a war zone where there is a potential for attack. However, since no one is staring diligently at the sky, that attack is not eminent.

Those are some awesome shots for sure.
Those pics in post #1 (as everyone goes to look again).
The Stugs have dirt in the bogey wheels meaning they are coming from the field and are being transfered somewhere.
The soldier sitting under that large sign of instructions....what is that patch on his sleeve?? An Eagle head meaning sniper??

What type of cigar is the Field Marshal smoking?? (just being smart, I'll get my coat)
