Armoured train. This time it is a Pz.Kpfw.739(f) Somua on the flatbed. Note the loopholes.

I noticed cous of the gasmask first and then the helmet :p

Anyways, what is he holding in his right hand (left side of pic)? A knife/bayonet/sword?

Looks like a bayonet from his bayonet frog on his left side :P

And the helmet and mask aren't dead give aways, considering M16/17/18 type helmets were indeed used in WW2, and WW2 german soldiers did have gasmasks too :P

I thought the helmets were a hell of a lot clunkier than in the Second World War?

Yes, they did use gasmasks, but the model in the pic is the 1915 one. that was replaced by the 1917, 1918, 1924, 1930 an 1938 model. So i seriusly doubd the germans would use a first generation gasmask in WW2 when they were already on generation 6 by then :p I have only seen the 1930, 1938 and 1944 models in WW2 pictures so far (not saying that older models weren't used, but it must have been incredibly rare)

Why do i know so much about gasmasks.... feel like a nerd now :s

i know the helmet was used in both wars.

And yes, probably the bayonet, to bad he is holding it straight to the camera :s
