Good luck!

Haha... That's good Michael. And I who "accused" you for being a great fan of http://www.corbis.com

Well, it takes one to know one...

I just didn't know that they had a "junior" branch of the HIAG

So yes, the answer is SS-Standartenführer d. R. Otto Skorzeny who died in Madrid, Spain, on July 5, 1975. And the picture source was as previously mentioned http://www.corbis.com

Your turn, Michael!

Thank You, Dok!

The first Photo is from Corbis, the second one from AHF.

Here the next Riddle: Who is the little Soldier in the feldgrau Uniform?

The Photo was taken in the Year 1916, at that Time the little Boy was three Years young, you ALL know this Person...

It is was not a Stg.W44, neither a "Volkssturmwaffe", with less Ammunition, only a few came on hand, at the very last Service?

Name this Handgun....???

@ Krollspell...

Skorzeny, a "Hero", I do not know, high decorated, for sure, a "HardAss",he got his very own Reason, to live in Spain.

Interested . about the SS, Skorzeny, the "Duce", but not a Fan, sorry!

Nordwest,

About the Volksturm-waffe, the central part of the weapon looks very similar to the Sten Mk-III. It seemed like the German industry copied Britain in the weapon-making process. Do you have any information on how many were manufactured, effectiveness, anything like that?

A little Hint: The little "Soldier" in the feldgrau Uniform, in his later Lifetime, he became a worldwide very well known Politician, with very much Reputation, not even in Germany...

Rossel, I am not able, to tell you something about this Weapon, I do not know the Type, neither the Caliber, the only Information is Mauser and 1944/1945.

Der Rest ist Schweigen...?
