Here are some interesting, at least to me, original photos of a German infantry unit in Russia.

I would imagine that this building is still standing. Anyone recognize it?

He looks warm. Interesting covers these guys have on their helmets.

Very hard to make out exactly what it says. Looks like they are covering the stained glass of a church in the background. Their final resting place.

Usually, in the German Army, banging on metal was the sign for a gas attack.   Is he sounding the alarm or letting everyone know it’s dinner time ? Any idea what the sign says? Notice his wound badge.

Thanks for posting more pictures! 1st part of the sign is hard to decipher but it´s most likely "Alarmglocke" (alarm bell).

I think you are correct and it makes the most sense. You can see the first 2 letters look like Al.
