This is Vincent Strauss, company machine gunner. Vincent has been on the frontlines for several weeks and in need of a good rest. His battle fatigued weary look testifys to it.
This Fallschrimjager machinegunner started as the Monte Casino officer. I have added 5-o'clock shadow, detailed wrinkles, homemade cigarette. The helmet is a jump helmet with splinter cover added.The smock has been re-dyed and weathered. He has a plaid undershirt (doesn't show up very well) on under his smock. Trousers are weathered as are boots and his MG-34 has a custom sling.
