I just recieved 8 of 10 5th Gebirgsjager Division pictures--they are described below.
1) Gebirgsjager Mountain Artillery action pic--most likely taken in Russia.
2) Nothing very special just shows several gebirgsjagers walking up a trail surrounded by snow--and a fortified blockhouse in the background. Most likely taken in Russia.
3) A wintery scene showing Gebirgsjagers moving supplies up a mountain trail by horseback. Most likely taken in Russia.
4) A winter scene with gebirgejagers walking in view of the camera--in the background middle of picture is a Gebirgsjager Sentry-standing outside his Sentry box. BUT, the main subject of this picture is of a Schloss in the middle background. I think this was most likely taken in Austria in 1938 or 1939.
5) A Gebirgsjager and Civilain scene at a Hauptbahnhoff--snow covered scene--and the center of the photo is another Schloss. Another pic I believe to be taken in Austria in 1938 or 1939.
6) Several gebirgejagers standing next to and on a Train--which is showing its Aluminum Train Eagle which is bolted to the train engine.
7) Probably the same train--with a Field-Kitchen set up on it serving their Ersatz food to several hungry Gebirgejagers.
8) A mostly identified foto of 4 Gebirgsjagers grinning for the camera.
Front three men are identified as:
Gefrieter Buchner
Feldwebel Wind
Unteroffizier Wagner.(smoking a "fag") and the 4th and unidentified soldier is aping Wagners smoking a "fag."
If interested--i'll be making copies soon. Let me know.
