Here we will feature original photos of German soldiers in every-day life. These will be an aid to your impression. Though they are not necessarily members of 2. Panzer, all German Heer (army) soldaten shared the same attitudes, stature, composure, eating habits, etc. Learn from them, for we are representing them, the common German fighting man, to the world.
Here we will see them eating, sleeping, resting in barracks, preparing for battle, joking with comrades. Remember, these were real men, far from home and family, often for the first time. They did not want to be where they were, and wished only for a speedy end to the war. But they loved their country, their families and their fellow soldiers, and were ready to lay down their lives for all three if need be.
