Thanks Bjorge for this information.Originally posted by bjorge View Post
I've been informed the German General could be Generalfeldmarschall Friedrich Eberhardt, which I am guessing is incorrect. Here is a close-up of the photo so we can verify whom this General could be.

Which photo were you referring to?
John and Harmel, thanks for the ID of these Generals!

I think he means the Norway photo couldn't have been taken on May 10, because the events in it took place 8-9 days earlier. But the May 10 date is when the photo was released to the press, isn't it? In that case, the timing of it all makes sense.Comment

Marc, you are correct. The dates on the photos are the dates the photos were released by the press, not the actual date of the event. Typically, the photos were released several days after the event. On rare occasions they were released the same day of the event and it is not uncommon to see them used months or years later for propaganda purposes.Comment

1863b/ Jungle war on the mouth of the Dnjepr.
They make possible use of the waterway. Now they have arrived at the spot where the enemy has presumably laid an ambush. Out there is the scum and in here is the jungle! Only with difficulty the MG Schütze leads the way through the interweaving underbrush.

Max Büschel was assigned at this time to the SS-Kavallerie Brigade. He followed them until the spring of 1943, taking many famous photos. He was then reassigned to LAH, where from Kursk onward, he took many more famous photos. He was still with LAH in 1945, for the February fighting at the Gran Bridgehead.Originally posted by Todd Gylsen View Post
He started out as a simple enlisted man, around the time of the photo shown here, but gradually rose to become a senior NCO, and had a son born during 1943. Büschel survived the war, and avoided captivity at the end. He walked for days to get to his home, and shortly after arrival was arrested by the Soviets. They considered him suspicious, and simply shot him to be rid of him. His son related that detail, years later, to one of our forum members, who shared the story with me (I'll let him speak up for himself, if he so chooses).Comment

Marc, Thank you for the history lesson on Max Büschel.

1868g/ This is not the “Siegfried Line”…
…but instead is a laundry line. The German soldier hangs his laundry between destroyed Soviet aircraft.
