I like this shot because it shows the use of Zelts as camouflage but also because of the lack of gear on the soldiers. You can clearly see their belts being worn and the NCO’s MP40 ammo pouches, but nothing else... No breadbag no gasmask canister no water bottle.
Before everyone starts shedding their equipment I’ll just say this appears to be a exception and not a role type of photo.
Die Fusilier Zug is not against combat badges or decorations either. Lets face it, studying photos you see allot out there. We DO however Insist that they are worn with rank and age in mind.
A Example would be, a young (or over aged) Private may have one maybe two awards, We would prefer they would be in black ( If you don’t understand that just ask). to have a private with the Infantry badge in gold, a Silver Wound Badge and 16 tank destruction badges would be a bit unbelievable.
Again if you need guidance and want to add some German Bling to your tunic, just ask.
