Here's a neat one. One of the vets I talked with told me about using netting from the trucks as a makeshift helmet netting. Pretty cool example of it right here!

 

A closer crop..........

And check out the boot assortment. I like the quality of scanned negatives. Can't really beat it.

 

And the other set

Very nice photo's, keep them coming.Looks like the soldier to the right has a knife or dagger in his boot.

 

 

In response to your keen observation............ it looks like a German boot knife! Good eye

 

I have these all scanned at 4000+dpi so I can easily zoom in to get extract details

As a helmet guy, I can really appreciate the photo's showing a double net set up. Anytime someone says: "They didn't do that" someone comes along with a photo to disprove them. :thumbsup:

Great stuff. My great uncle was an infantryman with I/222 and is fortunately still alive to tell some stories.

 

Thanks for sharing.

B, That is one grouping to be proud of and having the Vet's behind the scenes info makes it so much better! Have to say that is one grouping that anyone would be estatic to own.

Hey Mike,

 

Thanks for the kind compliments. I have a lot more great shots from this grouping to post up. A bunch of photos from this grouping made the cut for the newest Panzerwrecks book!

Here's a flag from the 222nd I have.

Any pics of that in there?

 

 

Jerry,

 

Amazing flag! I don't have any shots of it but will check my 222nd Unit History. What a beautiful flag
