Interesting photo I found while buying large amount of WW1 and reichswehr photos.

It appears to be reichswehr period. What do you all think?, and it appears they are all wearing the scarce M18 Ear Cutout helmet.

Really interesting picture. Paying their respects or perhaps the funeral of a comrade post-war?

Looking closely at the men at attention, the helmets seems to have Reichswehr applied decals under the lugs

Wonderful picture, the date on one of the graves is 1924 so definitely post war.

Any picture showing the M18 Ear cut out is a very interesting and pretty rare thanks for sharing.

Thank you glad you enjoyed it.I am definitely thinking something along those lines, it’s before ww2 I would say.

Indeed so it seems , and I don’t think it’s ww2 due to the placement of the decal. Definitely reichswehr.

Kind regards Kai

glad you enjoyed it John, and I must say you have a eagle eye for spotting 1924. In the picture I also spot a grave with 1915 either as birthdate or death date. Then again it’s very hard to say due the age and focus on the graves.

Also I do wonder why all of them are equipped with this late war variant of the M18 helmet.

Kind regards Kai
