    The eyes of the General Officer are firmly fixed on this guys immense girth. Reminds of another WW2 photograph.

    BEAR that one is in a few of my books and the depiction reads that the look of the Luftwaffe pilots arrogance towards the British NCO typifies their Nazi doctrine that they are H*itlers Aryan race, supreme beings. You can see the smug look on his face as if to say "Look at me." yet I like the Sgt's look of the British Bulldog.

    My father said only once when I quizzed him on the toughest soldiers in WWII he replied the British Tommie which I gather was due to the fact dad was born in Englandicon and AFAIK even though he was in the RAAF WWII '41 - '45 never became an Australianicon citizen, as he came here in 1929 by himself at age 16.

    I wouldn't want to tangle with that NCO. Also, it's still early in the war and they believe they can still win.
