Guess the picture quiz!

[Adrian Stevenson]

The 1938/39 SS expedition to Tibet led by Ernst Schäfer. Anthropological study was one of the aims, along with the Himmler and the Ahnenerbe's crack pot theories.....

Cheers, Ade.

Taken in Afrika, and they are filming!

I want a country not a continent! And the filming was part of something else, which is what I want.

[Jerry B]

Correct Ade. Gotta love that Tropenhelm

I know , I just couldn't place it!
Well done Ade.
I just have question with the picture (I know that is what the legend says on the net) but the people in the background don't seem Thibetians to me....

Fairly easy, so a three part qustion:

1) Type of weapon being carried?
2) Unit?
3) Which front?

Cheers, Ade.

MP18, Ostfront, annnnnnd I don't have an idea for unit. (?)

PS. I actually asked for 2 bits of info about McNair

1/ Highest ranking KIA
2/ Killed in fact, by USAAF friendly fire

[Adrian Stevenson]

Wrong on the weapon.

I would ideally like a more precise id on the front as this ties in with the weapon (clue here).

Cheers, Ade.

Is it the Volksgewehr 45?

EDIT: Vistula–Oder Offensive! January-February 1945. As for unit, I am guessing the 1st Ukrainian front?

[KradSpam]

It looks a bit like the MP34, or Beretta1938, but has a curved mag? Easy is a relative concept Ade

Are they Police?

Seelow heights/battle for Berlin. STG 44? Volksgrenadiers
