The General is Alfred Wünnenberg, btw. Thanks for posting these!

He looks like Walter Krüger's doppelgänger in profile....

And a nice Normandy trench shot!

Indeed and the guy in the right low corner, viewed from the back, wearing schirmütze and leather jacket is SS-Untersturmführer Herbert Walther II./SS-Panzer-Regiment 12

Good call! Walther was formerly a combat officer. He got his EK I commanding a platoon of Marder IIIs in SS-Panzerjäger Abt. 1 at Kharkov. But he then became a staff officer, first in sSS-Panzer Abteilung 101, then in II./SS-Panzer Regient 12 as indicated. So it makes sense to see him in a trench as a liaison officer to another element of the division, coordinating the armored support.

The one on the left I have a double of and will be listing on the E-stand soon.

These two as well as the closeup of the Grenadier in the previous post are 3 very difficult to find covers, although the images themselves are is numerous publications.

Post #67, the guy on the left is eventual Oakleaves winner Karl Kloskowski, commanding 7./SS-Panzer Regiment 2 as part of Panzerkampfgruppe Das Reich. The photo is by Flemish war reporter Hugo Lindekins, who was covering the Sturmbrigade Langemarck that was fighting alongside the Panzerkampfgruppe.

Post # 68, the right cover is 15./SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 25 in Normandy, June 1944.

Post #69, the left image is a Tiger from 9./SS-Panzer Regiment 3 in Hungary during the Konrad offensives.

Hi,

Post # 68, the right cover is 15./SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 25 in Normandy, June 1944.

To be more precise, the 15./25 (reconnaissance company) after the second disastrous attack of the "Hitlerjugend" on Bretteville l'Orgueilleuse, during which 7 Panther were annihilated in a few minutes by Canadian antitank guns.
The location is a small alley of La Villeneuve, a suburb of Rots, the first village in the East of Bretteville in which the "HJ" had its front line. Picture taken around midday, on June 9, 1944. The "Hitlerjugend" was one of the few SS divisions that still had a reconnaissance company in each of his infantry regiments.
The first two attacks (night of June 8-9 and early morning June 9) were marred by obvious errors in planning, but the Allied forces will be as worse in their own offensives against the SS division in the next days and weeks.

See You

Two new ones today!

[Remy Spezzano]

It always amazes me how these periodicals are still available 70 years later. And the condition of the paper for most of these issues are still holding up nicely.

Also the graphic design on those two covers is really very interesting.

My obsession

[Remy Spezzano]

I liked how you framed those. Very nice!

Is that face veil real or one of those really nice reproductions made by Nordhaus?
