In Tomas Jakl's book May 1945 in the Czech Lands, the photo is captioned as showing Hermann Göring Division men "...in re-conquered Bautzen/Budisin, 25 April 1945." There's more to the top of the photo in the book, and the building has a sign stating "Kubschütz".
I don't have any more information, but sometimes when you see a rare item in wide use, it could mean that they passed near a factory making such a thing, and in this case, helped themselves to a bunch of sniper scopes.

COOL PICTURE
First of all major cool picture for shure,never seen it before,the one with the FJ helmet has to be an ex member of them,as way back in africa/tunisia the 5th FJ regt im shure it is was incorporated into the herman goring division,but then again they where pretty much all captured there in 1943/tunisia.But also elsewhere maybe italy the same thing happened or on the eastern front FJ units where put into the herman goring to bolster them,give some exp men. 8)
Hello
Anything about the fighting around Bautzen in April 1945 ??
The caption to the pfoto says "Re-capture of Bautzen 25. april 1945"
Bautzen is to the south of Berlin, more like around Dresden, isnt it ??
Any info on the units there at the time.
I ask, because a friend of mine has relatives in Bautzen - and he is very interested !!
Regards
Kurt
