World War Two History

[Dan D]

Here is my favourite picture from the photo album of my grandfather Helmut, who was an officer, drill instructor and boxing coach in the Wehrmacht, and later joined the Kriegsmarine.
Manoeuvre 1935/1936 near the Russian border: troops are marching past my grandfather; one guy is, well, "ruining everything".
My grandfather’s written caption, post mortem (fig.):” When eating an apple, you easily get out of lock-step”.

Before he got married and before the war began, he joined the German navy, where he spent his time as a landlubber and staff officer. He was mathematician.
