The guy in the middle looks like he's gonna give someone a high five

Most likely to have been from USAAF, as there weren't US ground troops in combat within the North African/ Mediterranean/ ETO before the landings in Tunisia.
It might be possible that a general was captured during the German counter-offensive in the Ardennes (post D-day) but if so it's not something that I've come across in reading about it.

Thanks, I was thinking the likelihood of capturing a high ranking officer maybe even a General would be given in the Ardennenoffensive.

Probably some Jews who eventually usurped the US government.

This picture really shows how garbage US uniforms were, They look like hobos in comparison

The ugliness of us uniforms reflects the value of the cause they are fighting for.

Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright IV, 4 star general.

That’s definitely the highest ranking US officer captured during the war, but that was in the Pacific Theater.

It's a war, not a fashion runway. Being the best dressed losers does not change the status of being a loser.

you mean fighting to protect your homeland? us was attacked first

>value of the cause they are fighting for.
>I was glad when I saw them, that I had come back to the outfit and gone into Germany, for the trip, with its views of the lagers and prison camps, had finally convinced me of the need to drive the Germans from the face of Europe. How could a civilized nation run concentration camps and murder millions-and still fight for that way of life? How could a man fight for a nation that broke up millions of families, that put old women and little children to work in slave-labor lagers? The Third Reich was a cancer on the face of the Western man. I was glad now that I had played a part, however small, in helping to remove that cancer. Herbert Hoover, with his methodical, engineer's mind, could admire the Germans as an efficient and industrious race, but I was only sorry that I had not shot more of them.
>I had never believed in the war until I had gone into Germany and seen what the Germans had in mind for the world: the slave labor lagers, the broken families, the men from Dachau; old women and little children worked to death in Ruhr factories. To me the Germans were a nation of barbarous psychopaths responsible for the first degree murder of ten to fifteen million Poles, Russians, and Jews, innocent civilians whose only crime was to have been born-Poles, Russians, or Jews. They had filled hundreds and hundreds of tank ditches with the bodies of men, women and children, had denied God and Christ to follow a satanic Messiah who promised them only murder on the vilest and vastest scale in history. A nation of animal lovers who had never understood people, the Germans had set out deliberately to exterminate the Slav, to annihilate the Jew, to murder all whom they disliked or who would not love them as animals loved them that had been taught to obey and beg for food. I wanted the Germans to be thoroughly punished-if I could ever catch Himmler or Hitler or Goering, I would take the greatest delight in making them die slowly.

Sorry, didn't happen.

Did Nazis (SS or normal military) only give the Roman Salute, even to non-Germans?

They were still garbage though.

Hey man stop being transphobic

German wiki says that Wehrmacht soldiers saluted normally when wearing a hat or helmet, and the hitler salute when not. Doesn't say anything about rules regarding salutes to foreign military

Probably because some conscripts knocked off their hats while doing so

drink bleach

Pinks and greens are pure aesthetics compared to g*rm uniforms

Didn't that one high ranking pervert build himself a castle to crossdress in?

Wrong answer

The Hitler salute was introduced for the regular Army after the July 20 assassination attempt

Probably

It was the 1940s and entertainment was hard to come by.
It is very well documented that both Allied and Axis POWs would put on plays and shows to pass the time.Female rolls needed to be played by someone. The same was true for Wehrmacht soldiers stationed for long periods of time in places outside major cities.


They were not transvestites. They were not women trapped in men's bodies.

They. were. bored.
