Last month , a training exercise at Japan.

Thanks. Interesting that the Legion and JSDF work together. Maybe the Legion came from French Polynesia.

Cool?

Maybe not but probably one of the most famous photos from the war of any single soldier, and one which shows the full strain of war on a human being. An SS-Schütze from the Waffen-SS LSSAH during the Ardennes Offensive (the Battle of the Bulge). He's never been 100% identified but some have said he's 23 year old Hans Tragarsky.

One of those photos taken at the exact perfect time.

This is pretty cool and one which is little known about..."Vampir"...

German night vision systems in the last months of the war.

Designed for the StG 44 was the Zielgerät ZG 1229 "Vampir"...

Similar systems were installed in small numbers on Panthers and Sd.Kfz.251s and often on their MG42 secondary armament...

Call that a spider? That's a bloody speck of dirt mate

Our garden (and occasionally house) back in Melbourne was infested with these buggers...
