Just joined the forum and found this thread. Thought I'd post a few original images from my collection. Here's the first one, which was almost certainly taken in either Summer 1941 or Summer 1942. The inscription on the banner (probably for a work or agitprop unit connected with the state rail system) roughly declares (correct me if I'm wrong!):
COMRADE CONDUCTOR, THROW YOUR SWITCH TOWARD THE PARTY.
FULFILL THE LEGACY OF ILYICH [LENIN]
I haven't been able to specifically date or locate this photo, but it must have been made in a secure area in warm weather. The Heer soldier on the left is wearing a reed green fatigue uniform. The crudely painted slogan on the building behind them (possibly a warehouse or rail depot) states to the effect: CONTINUE THE STRUGGLE AGAINST FASCISM!
More images will follow in due course.
