A lot of super fine photos gentlemen!!

Here is one from my collection, and also one of my favorite photographs!
Waffen SS soldiers taking cover together with regular Heer soldiers in a bomb crater...
A lot of nice helmets in this photo!

seller "EA-Antik" just sold this photo as well! (if that is where you got it) It was indeed a period original photo too. I really like it. You can tell they are seriously trying to hunker down!

And is he wearing "spurs". Can someone explain please.

Hello,
Yes he's wearing spurs and he probably don't need them, it's called "FASHION"....
Yes in the german army at the time, wearing spurs (or folding the bill of your M43, or wearing a woolen Feldbluse with camo pants) was fashionable....

Please Gentlemen, this thread is meant to post period photos of the german Stahlhelm in use...try to avoid personal discussions in this thread.

Thanks
