Yes... we are quite aware of this pic. It's been mentioned before. However I forget all the details. Gadge can probably fill in.

Is the pic of the German taken from the famous series of photos during the battle of the Bulge. Part of the series including the SS MG42 gunner with Hi Power Browning in hand. That whole series of pics shows some very strange kit being worn by the SS and Luftwaffe troops involved as well as all the goodies they've obviously helped themselves to from the burning American convoy in the background

don't be suprised to see Jerry clutching almost any weapon-remember that they had most of Europes weapons factories churning kit out for them-so you get the Jerry Bren (ZB28), 9mm Browning courtesy of the FN works at Herstal and so on... (plus bit of captured kit always good for looking cool)
