Test your knowledge

This will be easy to some, to others it may not be so easy. It's all in the name of fun really. Using your knowledge of the Stahlhelm and these photo's as a guide..

1. Tell me in which two years these photo's could have been taken?
2. Tell me what's wrong with these photo's?

I'm not too sure about the dates etc etc, but decals had stopped being used by a certain date so obviously this photograph is before that date.

Thanks

1939 and 1940
and the house is burning in the background would be my answer...... since I don't know much on Helmets

I forgot to mention the helmet type might provide an answer aswell

Thanks

Aren't the decals on the wrong side of the helmets? My guess is the invasion of poland for approximate date.

Hi and thanks for excluding me

The nationality of the POW's probably narrows it down to a single year, IMO, if I have them ID'd correctly.

Polish invasion and the photos seem to be reversed, seeing as the tunic eagle is on the wrong side.

hmmm just a shot in the dark here, didnt really look too hard, is it 1939 or 1940?

also, the photos are reversed. that explains the switched around helmet decals and the breast eagles on the wrong side of the tunics.
