German soldier looking for Russians
With a captured Russian Mosin Nagant PEM sniper rifle…
Interesting photo…he’s rather exposed, unlike his conrades…also, he’s also carrying ammunition pouches for an MP-40 - most likely his primary weapon…
A real Scharfschütze never shoot like this. He jut picked up the rifle from a dead Soviet sniper, like Maag - Burkhard Driest in the film Cross of Iron.
