I thought you guys would love it. guest at the house have always loved it!
I would really love to know what was written on the bottom. it appears to be expounding teh various theatres the NSKK are in.
the artist did a hell of job with the smoldering background, and the figures expressions and definition are splendid.
It says:
"YOUNG EUROPE IS FIGHTING IN THE RANKS OF THE NSKK.
Soviet aircraft attempt to attack a vehicle column of NSKK-Transport Group Luftwaffe. Ready for the defense, the Flemish and French volunteers await the enemy on the rolling truck-mounted anti-aircraft gun emplacement."
Note the artist's attention to detail in depicting the various foreign volunteers' sleeve insignia in the painting; from left to right, they are:
- Flemish (DM sleeve shield with "Wolf hook" symbol)
- French (French Tricolore sleeve shield with "Francisque" battle-axe symbol)
- Walloon (Rexists sleeve shield with "Cross of Burgundy" symbol)
- Dutch (WA sleeve triangle with "Wolf Hook" symbol)

Thanks, glad I could help! Please notice, though, that I have since edited my post as I had misidentified the Walloon shield for the AGRA version; upon closer inspection I found it has to be the Rexist version instead.
