Cannot say posed or not but given the destruction and the soldier huddling the armoured vehicle we can guess and procrastinate about posing all we wish to, BUT! the thing to remember is the allied nations won the conflict that I believe got rid of @50 million people between 1939 - 1945 so probably just under say 10 million casualties of all types per year food for thought.

I would just like to thank Snafu for posting these pics to give personnel some idea of what the battle field soldier faced in their daily lives in the kill-eat-kill-sleep-kill-eat....... world that they lived in so we as a free people could enjoy the life that we wish even though Govt's try as others to break the people who like to collect and shoot military weapons. (sorry about Govt thingy but we suffer badly here in Australiaicon with the Govt.)

Mind you a Russianicon Typhoon class sub or a USAicon nuclear sub could wipe us all out in a blink of an eye that's even more scary food for thought
