In this picture there's written: "an SS officer...", he isn't an SS soldier. Look at the neck insignias, it has the Wehrmacht symbols. Pz.Abt.100 21:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- And when you see obvious mistakes like that, feel free to correct it as soon as you see it :) MoviePropMaster2008 04:25, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
