This one doesn't pass the smell test.
The Kubelwagen looks too perfect, and the soldier looks too "zaftig." Plus I haven't seen shoes like that on any German soldier.
I say it's modern. What do you guys think? _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

The way he's holding the gun looks odd too. More like how modern armed police would hold it. _________________ Andy

I do hope that they weren't intending to drive the car too far like this, as cooling might prove to be a problem. Unless that is an early jet engine strapped to the roof! |
Must be some sort of loud speaker. The sign says something to the effect of "labor strike". |

Despite being treated poorly at home, Japanese Americans fought with great valor in the European theatre.
Here is a determined-looking squad in a captured Schwimmwagen.

Looks more like a serious case of over acting from both parties! And how come both groups are looking in opposite directions? |

While the elite SS soldier's (Dumb,Dumber,Tweetle, Lee,an Tweetle Dumb)were in search of people of interest, those exact people slipped out the back Jack! Unbeknownst to the elite squad. _________________ .

I thought it looked too cheesy to be real.
However, it is still a vintage photo! _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
