      It works for me, great photo!
      I'm collecting anything related to the towns Castricum and Bakkum during WWII.
      Also soldbucher from 116pzdiv. And 1944-1945 eastfront pockets, kampfgruppe and Oder front.

            I saw this one on ebay, but I'm not a huge fan of the "faded" grey portraits. Very odd camo tho for sure

                The linked photo's all smack of re-enactors. There is something wrong about the images. Just cannot put my finger on it. Too clean? Too well fed?

                    Just my thougts aswell. "Action" pictures and clean white clothing?? All helmets are clean also. Perhaps a new group of soldiers who just arrived at the front and just received their clothing and new freshly painted helmets.

                      They're not 'front' photos but training photos so quite natural to see clean kit that hasn't been worn for weeks or months.


                      The camouflage pattern on the helmet is pretty good considering the silver birch wooded environment, you'd want to break up solid white like that.
                      Collecting German award documents, other paperwork and photos relating to Norway and Finland.

                        Simon is correct with his observations / comments i.e. training photos...the photos in PZV's Album are unquestionably legitimate.

                        *** I also posted this thread in the WAF's Helmet Section ...if you wish to see a white helmet winter combat photo, I think you'll enjoy the SS Sniper photo posted there by another WAF member:
