'I can see from your eyes you have the legs of a dancer..." Pretty girl.
Is that Bert Hoffmeister?Discharger, Smoke Generator, 4-in., No. 2, x2:
Older pic. I think I was around $900 invested in arctic birch at the time, but only because the M44 set me back 3 bills. The bayo on the SVT would almost go for that now. I have two, the one in the pic, that came free with the gun, and another one with "blonde" scales that I got later from a batch of imports that became controversial about their authenticity.
. Nice rifles!They would be with today's technology, but they aren't very stealthy.
They'll remember the smell of that burning banda for the rest of their lives.

The only aircraft in USAF service to intercept a Constitution Class starship.
That's pretty quick.

For you, the war is over.
I wonder how many were ever released. This batch looks reasonably well fed anyhow.
There's that scene at the end of the World at War episode about Stalingrad that shows an emaciated, bearded, empty-eyed man in German uniform shuffling into captivity wearing a set of those woven reed "winter boots". He's in no condition to be going anywhere, but he's likely being marched to a railhead some distance away to be put in a boxcar and shipped north to the site of a camp he'll be tasked with helping build on limited rations and a steady dose of abuse and neglect. You look at this poor sonofa##### and you know he didn't last the day they took the footage. He's doomed. He knows it. Hard stuff to watch.
And yeah, I know what they did. I know they had it coming to them and earned less mercy than they received. I know they were ruthless and supported a scheme that would have done a lot more evil things had it been allowed to persevere. I'm thankful the Soviets (and everyone else) were there to roll them back and bleed them dry. But at the end of it, he's a man, shuffling to his death, wearing an inadequate trenchcoat and baskets on his fvcking feet. And I feel for him.
