    Recommended Posts

    Hi all,

    Seeking information about this picture.

    The picture was photographed in Arnsberg / Westf. Germany 1945.

    You know the gesture of the soldier?

    Please excuse my poor English

     

    Best wishes 

    Peter from Arnsberg /Germany

    It's part of unfixing bayonets.  They're in the act of replacing the bayonet in the scabbard, which requires two hands hence the rifle between the knees.

    Cheers,

    Dan.
