The money was good, the food was good, the drink was good, the camaraderie was good, there were plenty of Wehrmacht brothels where he could rape sex slaves, all the pillaging he wanted, and because he enjoyed racialist crimes.
He could enjoy all the benefits the nazi system bequeathed on its supporters.

Can you provide any facts which one can see in the image and support your claim? I guess not.
Your statement seems to be a spawn of morbid conception.

The famous Iwojima flag raising shots is a big propaganda scam.
There's been a flag up their for several hours before that posed one.

I've no doubt there is photographic evidence to "prove" started the War at Gleiwitz.

You aren't one of the people who believe that Photoshop is a modern invention are you?
It isn't.
Photoshops, or should that be photo shops, altered photographs long before computers were invented.

If you look at many Allied photographs, you see shots of showroom fresh jeeps with lovely white stars on them.
Dead easy.
Print of photo of some countryside.
Take a picture of a clean jeep with a shiny star on it from a suitable angle.
Cut out the picture of the jeep.
Paste it on the background.
Tart up the star so it's lovely and shiny.
Then take a photograph of the jeep pasted on the background.

The thread title is "Polish Volunteers In The Wehrmacht" not "PS skills for advanced beginners".

Correct, and it seems to me that this user like his inputs without any proofs.

Example:
Askold´s claim: "A letter from Polish volunteer in the 51-st Police batallion."
http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 5#p1346536
But the letter reads "Kri[e]gsgefangenenpost = POW - Mail". Pointed at this there´s no reaction of Askold.

Skilful photographer? I guess a such one had not cut off the hands of the person while photographing Instead he had cut off the sky.
Supplementary lighting? There´s just the hard shadow of the sun.

Thinking about it, I never notice even a passing odour of intellectual discussion here.
Good luck folks.

Over and out.
