Arsenal in Vienna that was used as a maintenance depot, a StuG IV, a couple of PzKfpw I and some M13/40s and what seems to be a FIAT L6/40

I just realized taking pictures of kittens wasn't something new :



At least they weren't taking pictures of their feets and posting them on facebook back then.

Guys, would you agree that the soldiers on this campaign poster are actually German soldiers?

Yup, they're Germans all right.

Also, note the small white spot on the sleeves of those soldiers. They might even be SS troops.

It's a stock photo of reenactors.

Yeah, it's a stock photo of German reenactors.  Already been proven.  Some intern just search for "ww2 soldiers marching' and that photo is listed on a stock photo site as 'soldier marching'.  Intern just had no clue who they were and so put in the image.

Apparently the "intern" did not notice "because of the faded nature of the insert", this obviously not from a photoshop expert. They would have begun with the source image - http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/14/donald-trump-nazi-soldiers-tweet-top-republican-polls

Ummm ... Republican axis bias ?
