Neat KIA Pic

[R MICHAEL]

Larry,

they look like german mountain boots which makes sense with the officers edeilweis.

Hi Chris,

I am well aware of the many types and ways that injuries can be fatal.
Without seeing the whole body one can only make a guess at how the soldier died.
I have seen many closeup photos of KIA soldiers, most taken by allied soldiers.
It's strange to me that a German soldier would take such a personal photo of a fallen comrade.
There are boots in the photo, are they German?
