Re: What conflict is this?
I would say those bodies you see are dead men

Re: What conflict is this?
Hi Robbie, German stamp on paper appears to be period, same with fading of ink over it. Looks like German soldiers to me. The guy on the left looks likes he's carrying some kind of modified MP40. As far as the blobs in the field, hard to tell. However, if those blobs were enemy soldiers approaching, the two guys front and center would be diving for cover. Gopher boy with his head up would be an easy target. Also, some of those blobs are long. I don't think if this was training or actual battle, a guy would lay out there lengthwise to the skirmish line. I hate it when people buy nice photo albums and then destroy the story by selling them off one at a time. Still, nice photo.

Wow, brilliant Dave, I bet you're right. I'm having a bad day, that never came to mind. Lotta dead guys.

Re: What conflict is this?
Yes they are german, ones holding an mp40 the other has a stick grenade, either the bodies are russian or german and those two are possibly rearguard or just surveying the area

Hi styx,
that is a good period pic and on enlarging the photo they are dead guys, but i dont think the two soldiers are German going by the uniforms. Even though on has a MP40 and the other a 42 grnd, it,s probably the aftermath of a battle as they wouldnt be sitting ther like that.
Dave.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Re: What conflict is this?
I still think they are probably Germans. The paper has a stamp for the German city of Nurtingen, which is in southern Germany. The stamp does not appear original to the paper, like it was done after processing.

The soldier in the foreground has a breast eagle so i assumed German

Re: What conflict is this?
I thought the same thing Dave, but my eyes aren't what they used to be. I could make out a blob where an eagle would be, but my eyes aren't good enough to tell exactly what it was.
