Chris Boonzaier Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi, zhis pic has popped up on a few sites recently.... I think it is a Movie Theater photo?Somehow it does not have the "look" of period photos, the guy looks a bit hefty, the rifle looks wrong, the Material (film and photo paper) also looks a bit more modern than WW1 era....On top of that, the logo and writing at the bottom make it look as if a studios logo has been cut off ? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi, zhis pic has popped up on a few sites recently.... I think it is a Movie Theater photo? Are you picking up a German accent? I reckon you're right, it looks like the sort of quality you see from 1950s/60s films and is the word 'produktion' in the bottom right corner?

IrishGunner Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I've been browsing thousands of WWI photos lately ... from all battle fronts, including DSWA. I haven't seen anything similar in period photos. I think you are right - not period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fought together with his father for Lettow-Vorbeck in WW1 His father was KIA and Bayme Mohamed Husen was taken POW in 1917 The photo shows him as an acteur for the movie "Die Reiter von Deutsch-Ostafrika"!

Chris Boonzaier Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi, so the photo dates from 1934, a bit more well fed than he would have been in 1917. The 98 Carbine is a bit out of place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
