Stalingrad-A Leutnant gives orders to his men. He wears standard 6x30
binoculars with a leather eyepiece protective cover fitted (normally
attached to the neck strap, and enlistedmen's "Y" belt support straps.
Officers were directed to wear such straps in November 1939. His Blech
(tin-wear) or Lametta (tinsel) include das Kreuz (the nickname for the
Eisernes Kreuz-lron Cross), Wound Badge with much of the black paint
worn off, and the Infantry Assault Badge with part of the wreath
broken off. A soldier wearing a large number of ribbons and other
decorations was said to be a Bandhandler (ribbon-dealer) .
Standing to his left is a Hauptmann, probably a Kompaniechef, armed
with a Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun.
These soldiers wear a variety of helmet camouflage means to include
Gummibander, a cloth cover on the center man, and the Oberleutnant has
a scarce camouflage-painted helmet.
