Waffen SS Patrol Photo

I came across this interesting and striking photo, taken from a propaganda book. When I first saw it I thought it was made by re-enactors, but it is indeed a period photo...Menacing crew!
cheers, Glenn

Thank you Stuka for the correct identification!

They are not Waffen SS, but WH soldiers.

Nice pic, but, to me anyway, it looks like a "late war posed for Signal/Propaganda Kompanie" photo. But it's given me an idea for a model diorama!!

Great pic.
Late war (on account of the STGs, I suppose)?
Posed or not - they look tense.

I like the motor too. Last Schwimmwagen I saw was at Munster. I so wanted to take it home and ford a river, LOL.

They are clearly in 'Alarm Stufe ROT!'

They are so alert, no one is going to surprise those guys

Unless someone sneaks up behind them... there is nobody watching their backs!

Some lucky G.I. could have himself a couple of StG-44's, a nice set of Zeiss bino's, and a brand new schwimmwagen...

Ha! There could be a vigilant Landser sat on the tailgate
