Gefreiter Schmidt, I especially like the Prussian Landsturm card. The illustration and poem conveying the story of the old homeguard units that were first established in 1813 against Napoleon. These Landsturm/Landwehr outfits were the National Guard of their day, culminating towards the end of WWII with Hitler's Volksturm units. It just goes to show that here's another entire area that a collector could specialize in. Best regards! Bill Ps your photo reminds me of Gerd Frobe in "The Longest Day."
