Colorizing photos

[DrMemory1701]

Am looking at this all wrong? The officer saluting is clearly wearing an SS
uniform, belt buckle, and insignia. Why is he wearing a heer stahlhelm?

Witt couldn't find his helmet so he wore a heer helmet.

Hi I wonder why he couldn't find his helmet or is that just a guess on your part? It seems odd that an officer who had earned a KC, wouldn't be able to find an appropriate helmet. Especially when he's meeting such an important person.

[brio986]

No the heer eagle on the helmet is original. The photo comes from the deutsche wochenschau and the original black and white can be found on the axis history forum. Its not a mistake on my part I just colour the photos.

I've seen another photo of an SS soldier with the helmet Heer.

I thought everyone would like to see that great work that Larrister did for me. Here are the before and after shots.

And here is what it looks like on the cover. I muted the colours a little to fit in with the cold wintry feeling of the design.
