Attached please find this candid photo of a Uffz. Heinz Weber in splinter camo. Note the blank firing attachment on his G1.
If I'm reading the caption correctly, it would appear as though Weber perished in a plane crash on November 5, 1963. I'll run a scan of the caption next.
What makes this photo interesting to me is you can see how worn out the uniform is. Given that the picture was probably taken in 1963 or perhaps 1961-1962, it confirms how worn out these uniforms looked after 5+ years of hard use.
