Luftschiffer?

[Tom Y]

I just dug out this photo of two Luftschiffer(n?)in what seems to be a rather well appointed bunker.

Maybe on the Eastern Front?

Wherever, one of them's got some nice bedroom slippers.

and some poor Poilu's kepi?

This photo'd be good for a game of I Spy ;)

Interesting picture Tom,

can you scan the detail around the cabinet

above the chap on the right as you look at the picture?

Field equipment, belt & bottle?

I read it as an "L".

There seems to be a Dresden connection too.

You have a definate advantage with the original picture old bean

By the way if I am not mistaken the Kyrilic sign has a depiction of a piece of meat on it!!

The picture is a mine of information.

Since when are bunkers wallpapered? The guy on the right looks like he just discovered some funny weed in his pipe!

Here's the M15 strap they are wearing.

Thanks, Chip. As I remember Jünger mentions wallpapered bunkers in Storm of Steel. If not there, I read it in some other firsthand account.
