Karlo,
Interesting avatar !! If I am not mistaken it is the execution of VC sapper in Saigon during 1968 Tet Offensive. I first saw that as a child. The executioner was chief of police in Saigon.Comment

In the photo with Lammerding, I think that is future KC holder Ernst Tetsch in the background on the left.
