patches Posted February 23 Author Share #10 Posted February 23 Here's one, a kid seems to be helping this Lanser don his pack before the kick off of the big victory parade in Berlin after the fall of France on July 1940, what was it, the 17th or 18th of July, unit troops are in is not mentioned unfortunately. The kid looks like he's wearing a toy helmet right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
