"Cool Shades!" photos

[PZIV]

I have noticed in many cases some German troops at extremely great style in choice of sunglasses. As I know they may be rare to have in a personal collection, does anyone know of any at all? I've seen a few in movies, but not photos. Anywhere online or anything would be great. Be sure to site sources though!

Thanks,

I have a colorized photograph of my grandfather eating at a makeshift table. At one end of the table, next to a pair of 6x30 binoculars there is a pair of sunglasses. Of the classical pilot variety. Don't know if they belong to him or one of his kameraden though.

Post it! Thanks for the info.

Mansal,

I you go through my thread on new photos you will probably see a few. Also check out the winter photos as they tended to wear sunglasses because of the snow (blindness) Bill

I apologize for the delay. I've been very restrictive with posting photographs of my grandfather, but this one is a bit different from the rest and not one that I've intended to use in my "project". And besides, since I did bring it up in the first place, it's only fair that I post it.

glasses

Here's a nice MAX pickup. Though there's a second person with a similar set of glasses. Perhaps they doubled as goggles to man the machine guns?

Here is one I just picked up this weekend

And here is a photo showing Romanian and German troops. One of the Romanian soldiers is wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Cheers,

It's unfortunate I don't have anything to contribute, but I will check again. Thanks to all who posted and keep it up!

Looks like I may have found one after all! Tell me if you agree the man furthest to the left on the barrel is wearing some sunglasses?

Man oh man, what was I doing when I first looked? Fourth from left on top row.
