Probably recruits at the shooting range. Germany, 1942.
German Infantry

It kind of makes me sad to see such youthful enthusiasm and thinking where they will be in a year or two.
I was thinking the same thing.

Unknown place and date, but curious image.
Just a couple of good friends hanging out.
I’m wondering what they are up to in the background. Digging a mass grave?

Members of the Fallschirmjäger on a reconnaissance patrol somewhere the Italian mountains, Feb 1944
Nicely posed 
A seemingly VERY pleased Fallschirmjager posing with his trophy -- a captured Bren gun.
Is the Bren a superior weapon to an MG 34?
I don't think so. Better than their rifles.
Let's not get that old debate started...LOL
