A Pak 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36) manned by Wehrmacht troops.
I could be wrong, but my guess is this is early in the war, possibly 1941 Russia.

New Years BS
Today will be the last of my Germany posts (reposts don’t count right?) for a while.
The shift will be from the Axis to the Australians in WWII, as I feel the Aussies efforts during the Second World War are greatly unappreciated.
Let me give this fact to you:
600,000 served in a country of just 7 million.
That is all, carry on.

American soldiers of the 75th Infantry Division inspect a knocked out Panther Ausf.G from 2.SS-Panzer-Division ‘Das Reich’ in Grandmenil in late December 1944.
It is a late production vehicle as evidenced by the raised fan cover for the crew compartment heater (rear deck) and was equipped with jettison able driver and radio operators hatches (as ordered in August 1944), one of which can be seen laying to the left of the vehicle.

“Now I don’t know a lot of you by name, but I know you.
We met at Isurava. We fought there together and every step of the way here.
Now we are relieved and we will leave the battle.
And every day the enemy supply line stretches further. He suffers now as you have suffered.
The battle we fought for the track may have just saved your nation. At Imita we will stop him.
Brigadier wants you to know…your gallantry, your courage, your fortitude are an inspiration.
And I want you to know that you are some of the finest soldiers that I have ever seen.
You have seen things in this place that no man should witness.
Some of these things you must forget. But history will remember you, and in the years to come others will wish that they had your conviction.
And remember…remember the glory is not the exhortation of war, but the exhortation of man.
Mans nobility, made transcendent in the fiery crucible of war.
Faithfulness and fortitude.
Gentleness and compassion.
I am honored to be your brother.”
- Lt Col Ralph Honner’s speech to the 39th Australian Imperial Battalion

Lieutenant Colonel Hyacinth Ralph Honner (17 August 1904 – 14 May 1994)
Known as Ralph Honner, was a distinguished Australian soldier during the Second World War. He is considered particularly notable for his leadership during the Kokoda Track Campaign, during which he commanded the 39th Battalion, which fought a series of delaying actions as the Japanese advanced towards Port Moresby. In 1943 Honner was wounded during the fighting in the Ramu and Markham Valleys and, as a result, was discharged from the Army in early 1945. In his later life, he worked as an administrator on the War Pensions Assessment Appeal Tribunal. He was also active in the Liberal Party of New South Wales and served as the Australian ambassador to Ireland between 1968 and 1972. He died in 1994, aged 89.

2011.
This year has been something else.
My heart was broken a time or two, but mended by good people.
I’ve met men whose honor will not be tarnished by any amount of mudslinging.
So many men and women who fought for what they felt was right have passed before our eyes, but they do not die in vein.
They died for honor and no amount of slander shall sully their name.
I’ve had the chance to befriend a few people from here, as well as learn from them in the process.
Too all of you may you have peace and the conviction to fight for what you feel is right.
Happy New Year 2012.

Okay this is more than just a question, so bare with me here. (1) What music do you like, and what have you been listening to as of late? (2) I've come to believe you have a complex belief system, and don't like to have anything set in stone. But if possible, please explain some of your thought process in your value system and belief system.
Music wise my roots as a child was heavily in classical, opera, classic rock, big band, and swing.
In my teens I heard punk rock and fell in love, along with industrial, grindcore, death metal etc.
I reached a point where the politics of punk started to get idiotic, and it started to seem like most have went so far left that they started to sound like the right. It was then back around 1990 that I found Boyd Rice (NON) and Douglas P. (Death in June) and for once in my life I felt as if somebody took all my feelings and thoughts and made them speak with such clarity they’ve become Volk without reproach.
As for the second question, I will answer it, but not tonight, as that will take some long winded answering, and I want it presented in as a concise manner as possible. This was actually a great question and one I cannot wait to finish. Thank you gray being.
PS. Nine Inch Nails (Broken and With Teeth), Slayer (any and all of their albums), Computer Magic (Spectronic EP), Eisley (Valley and Combinations) is what has been constant as of late. Oh and Blood Axis (Blót: Sacrifice in Sweden).

Even this early in the Papuan campaign officers were carrying rifles and removing rank badges to confuse enemy snipers; nevertheless, all five of would become casualties in the succeeding months, and only Lt. Mason (second from right) would survive 1942.

Textiles from The Charleston Museum’s exhibit “We Have Just Begun to Fight!”
Left: This brown leather jacket has silk blood chits or escape flags sewn in. It was worn by Charlestonian, Jimmy Holcombe, who flew air-sea rescue missions in the China-Burma-India Theatre. The information on the flags is printed in French, Thai, Lao, Chinese, Korean, Annamese and Japanese, along with his serial number. It states that the flyer is an American whose plane has crashed, he is an enemy of the Japanese, and that the American government will compensate anyone who rescues him and returns him safely to Allied military control. These notices served as survival tools for downed U. S. flyers. (click here to learn more)
Right: This blue cotton jumper and white blouse was worn by Mary Elinor Waterhouse Hoyler (1912-1998) of Beaufort. She volunteered with the Red Cross at home while her husband, Lt. Hamilton Hoyler, USMC, served in the Pacific. He was at Pearl Harbor and she did not know his fate for six months. After the war, he returned to Beaufort and they had three children.
