Great action pictures, I love the camo. The Fallschirmjager is a weird picture. It looks like somebody ran up and killed him while he was setting his MG 43 up. There's no empty brass that I can see in the picture to suggest he ever shot it. Maybe a mortar or grenade.

Thanks for sharing.

i'm pretty sure that the last picture is a modern staged repro as i've seen it on other sites as well, so not original. I'd have similar concerns with the first one.

Were these from e-bay??

I'm sure I have seen Photo 3 in numerous books.

Yep, I thought I had. It is on the cover of the book SS: Blood Soaked Soil...
