Very nice looking uniform! ANd also great story.
My grandfather also served in the Army, the Hungarian 2nd Army which was destroyed in 1943 January at the River Don. Many forget how valiantly those soldiers fought. ANywayz my grandpa survived, but was in Russian captivity for 3 yrs after being captured by Ruskies around Magdeburg in 1945.
He was an artillery man, later a cook, than infantryman at the very end.
I still remember wearing his M35 helmet back in Hungary, I am sure it is lost now
