Picture Quiz

would I be right in saying that it's Pre 1935 Reichswehr?

 

Nope.

 

were they perhaps the team that carried out the gleiwitz incident or something similar?

or are we looking for a 'before they were famous' person in the photo?

 

I have not been able to identify any of the soldiers in the picture, but i can say the photo was taken between 1940 and 1945.

 

The Kar against the guys foot looks superimposed?

The hair of the guy on the left?

 

in fact a lot of it looks superimposed?

 

You are on to something there Totenkopf... It is the man in front i am talking about.

 

By "Imposed", do you mean that the picture is posed or something(My English is out of reach at the moment and i can't quite understand it even if i translate it from English to Norwegian (Damn you google translate)). The picture is not fake or anything, it is a part of my militaria collection. But it is one thing that makes it special...

 

superimposed = cut out and stuck on top

It looks like the man at the front is from a different photo and he has been added 'technically' at the time?

 

No, it is not superimposed, and it is not the people that are special...

 

ah of course - the rifle's different - Is it a Moisin Nagant?

 

You finally got it, but it is not a Mosin Nagant.

 

could be a Winchester 1914 or a Springfield 1903? bit of a guess but other than that not finding any matches

 

Still wrong, a tip: The rifle comes from a country that was neutral during ww1.

 

could be a Swedish Mauser/gustav 1896? don't think it's a K31

 

The country was neutral in ww1, but not in ww2.

 

i'll let someone else guess for a while - I can't find a match - I'm expecting Norwegian?

 

Wow, you are so close. You are indeed correct(I thought you would have expected that i would post something about Norway, i have done that quite a lot in this quiz). The rifle is indeed Norwegian.

 

first thing i looked for was a Norway connection, but can't find a match. Maybe one of the modifications done to the Jarmann?

 

No... You get 1 more hint: It was a weapon that was used by the Norwegian army before the war and during the invasion.
