An original World War II snapshot depicting a German Heer officer standing outdoors in a courtyard or garden setting.
The officer wears the standard Army officer’s visor cap (Schirmmütze), service tunic with breast eagle, and regulation leather equipment. The relaxed outdoor setting suggests the photograph was taken during leave or while stationed away from the front.
A nice original candid photograph illustrating the everyday appearance of a German Army officer during the Second World War.
