German Infantry

[ChuckDyke]

I would say the Colt 1911 is superior to the Luger but a Luger made a better trophy according to US Veterans. Likewise the Bren and Mg34. On patrol the Bren is better during a battle you may need the sustained fire ability of an MG34.

To me his smile says this is one Bren gun that will not be used against them.

Zzzzz!
Moment to rest.

Without further information, I just found it interesting that they had a moment to pose for the photographer.

 

[Louis]

Interesting place to deliberate.

 

[Gunner]

I can hear the grumblings of the enlisted men who dug the trench.. "Now what the *&^% are the officers going to do with a round trench..." or something like that. Probably with more colorful language than that.

I wonder if their pockets are full of posies?

Ahh, the “Happy Times.” When troops were still well-fed, well-equipped and there was the luxury of full-length leather coats.

Those flowers must really stink.

Beans and sauerkraut and lentils were served at the canteen that day.
