Hi,
bought this for 2.49 euros about 5 months ago. Forgot all about it. A couple of days ago there it was, came by sea from Germany. Someones relative, son whatever, forgotten by his family. He is wearing a M43 Cap so at that stage of the war he had little to smile about. It hangs on my wall now and for what its worth I have helped remember this soldier and honor his memory. Does that sound corny? I may not have met this soldier but I ponder on his life, did he survive to be an old man or is he buried somewhere on the Eastern Front. The frame is old and has no marks etc to reveal who this soldier is. I could remove it from the frame but have opted not to. The best 2 euros I ever spent.
cheers robert
