Picture of the Day

French tanks were never my speciality, so: close enough.

Where's that?
MAN Werke Hannover?

Yeah, propaganda... that T-34 totally destroyed itself. Of course the photographer thought it would be a nice picture shot from the Tigers point of view, that´s what good photographers do: Trying to get nice pictures.

95% sure that is just a screenshot from a newsreel. Thus pure propaganda, but, that does not make the thing a set up, it could be a real view that a front line camera man captured.

Implying you can't learn anything from photos presented in a propaganda format. Also, at least 70% of the photos in this thread are posed in one way or another. So why is anyone complaining about this?

Exhausted Belgian troops on the Brussels road...

Also, probably it's propaganda.

Tiger pic: does not look like propaganda, the quality is too bad, and a lot of soldiers had private photocameras with them, but we dont see much of these pics, as they are still in the family albums.
I have some too,showing my granddad and some of his comrates in a forest spring 45 in Kurland.

Also Kurlandpocket:

Hmmm, that's cool.  He has his qualification badge over his rank, it should be on the wrist of the sleeve, SS put it above the rank.

[Korsakov829]

Early Panzerschrecks didn't have a blast shield so operators had to wear a protective mask.
