A private 1st class.
Yes...That was the Caption to this Picture. I didn't see anything to tell me he was a Private 1st Class unless I'm missing something.Quote:

For an SS just in what one would surmise is a battle they must have hopped straight from the half track fully kitted out to have a go, certainly love the neat pressed GI uniform with tidy pack and a very clean battle field to boot.
To take a real image at this quality as a one off and not posed...........the photographer would have got the Pulitzer for detail...............great what reenactors can do with monochrome film, start doubting many shots
That's what I notice how nice the picture was...but they probably did a re-enactment.
