Is the reindeer image photoshopped?
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
It may have been 'Sovietshopped'. It was taken by Evgeni Khaldei, who was known for his shot of the red banner over the Reichstag.
He loved to take photos of war themes juxtaposed with natural or everyday human activities. This photo was a play on Operation Reindeer (Renntier), the codename for the German operation to take Murmansk.
It may not have been Sovietshopped, considering the number of stories I have heard about Reindeer running around during the battle.
Lets never forget the lovely ladies that stayed behind and plugged all the gaps while the men were away doing there thing....cheers Jake.

On Kiska Island, after Allied troops had landed, this grave marker was discovered in a small graveyard amid the bombed-out ruins in August of 1943. The marker was made and placed by members of the occupying Japanese Army, after they had buried an American pilot who had crashed on the island. The marker reads: "Sleeping here, a brave air-hero who lost youth and happiness for his Mother land. July 25 - Nippon Army
