I wonder how he got out of Africa that late? The Sicilian Division is a very interesting formation. I wish I know more about it, it started as a real hodge podge that was shaped into hard fighting tough units.

The only picture I got of Wahrheit (unfortunately wearing a different tunic).
The picture was taken in September 1942, at the time he was serving as an Unteroffzier with Kradschützen-Ersatz.Btl. 2 in Vienna.Comment

I love the whole set, single handedly one of the most bad ass tunic/groupings one could hope to have. The fact that is still this way is just awesome and reminds people of what war is really like. I absolutely love the whole group. MattComment

I agree with Matt's thoughts! I would expect there are other portraits out there as when he made Lt. one would think a pose for a portrait was 1st order when away from the front lines to share with family members etc...Originally posted by afrikasandman View Post
What fun it must be reserching Wahrheit and finding all this info!
