Today for your delectation we have four Luftwaffe men and their 20mm (?) FlaK. I purchased the photo from a dealer who had clearly split up a LW veteran's album. Some of the photos were taken in the East - others on training/garrison duties on the "Heimatfront" This picture has a barely legible pencil note on the reverse. The legend appears to read: "Stellung Morfecvem"
Although sold as an "Ostfront" photo, I think this has been mis-labelled. The uniforms are clean and tidy - not something normally seen during Russian winter. The troops are reading pristine newspapers and their hair is neatly clipped. Thus I suspect that this photo was taken taken in or around the "bricklayers' village" of Mörfelden (near Franfurt am Main) What they are guarding is a mystery, although there was a prison in the vicinity.
Still, a nice clear photo.
