I like this airplane photos ( have more in my col.)

Four metre Prussian Grenadier executed for sleeping while on guard duty.

Now that does appear to be a staged scene. The fellow nearest the camera is on his own programme, seeming to have found a pheasant to shoot at.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Commission Rifle, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Bedankt heel veel! Thank You very much!

I think he had to have been taller than just 4 meters ! Besides think of the manpower necessary to dig a grave that big ?

very cool pic...

WOW!!! Good photo. The speed may have change but the hostility to beat the opponent remains...that's history. Weaponry and the players can change...as well as the circumstances and countries involved. An old foe can become today's NATO ally, ha,ha,ha. Like Sinatra said, "that's life..."

wow. just wow.

Wow, it's scary to think of flying in one of those things! And it's amazing how much progress aviation made in just a few years if you compare these to the planes that were flying at the end of the war!

.....riding high in april...shot down in may, that's life....that's what all the people say..
