Soon-to-be Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein surveys the remains of Sebastopol following its capture by German and Romanian forces, 1942.

He came ... he saw ...

The Anshluss is just done, and these new German troops, already with the nazi eagle and the German shield on the Austrian helmets, anyway still show the Austrian uniform with its ranks. Austria, 1938. DVX
