The Oberst looks like he could open his mouth and speak to you!
All the best to you, You are a True Artist. Butch
Thanks for your kind comments!
I wish I was an artist but I ' not: just found the right nude figure with right "fitting" uniform and cap. Good pose, nothing more. Every one can do it easy.
For any of you interested in this guy, uneffected by the economic woes of America, having a few bucks they can transfer from their beer budget to purchase militaria, the link below is for this guys RK award document:
It's described thus: "This 17-3/4” X 14-1/4” red morocco (goatskin) folder bearing the German national insignia (eagle and swastika) impressed in gold on the cover contains a cream colored somewhat stiff leather sheet approximately 17” X 27-1/2” which opens to reveal, on the right side, a citation awarding the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross to Colonel Herbet Eweri whose name is in gilt.
The citation reads: “In the name of the German people I award to Colonel Herbet Eweri the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. Supreme Headquarters, the 18th of August, 1942. The leader and commanding General” under which is Adolf Hitler’s signature.
This citation was retrieved from the Reich Chancellery Building just after the surrender of Germany by a Major who was assigned to General Eisenhower’s Headquarters (SHAEF) and worked in the intelligence section on the Ultra project (the Major’s name and biography will be provided to the winning bidder). When Generaloberst Alfred Jodl signed the unconditional surrender of Germany in the school in Reims France, the Major was in an adjoining room. Shortly thereafter, he and others from his unit were exploring the Reich Chancellery in Berlin when the Major came across this citation in what was perhaps one of Hitler’s offices. It has been in his possession since that time.
The folder has slight wear on the corners and edges and the cord that holds the inner leather sheet has become detached on the bottom, overall excellent condition. "
