For chemical/biological warfare??Looks like a Ford or Willys GP 'Jeep', but with a rigid top, and a blister side window.
Definately special top with blister window, but something looks odd about that "Jeep"....might be the odd top making the rest of it look strange.Looks like a Ford or Willys GP 'Jeep', but with a rigid top, and a blister side window.
IMHO KG means Kampfgeschwader (Geschwader is approx. the same as a Bomber Wing). Kampfgruppe is a smaller unit and the abbreviation is KGr.KG means Kampfgruppe or bomber sqr. Propaganda shots like these are not un common. Junker Ju87 pilot talking a beautiful woman on wing.
BOGUS! Too clean, stylish, and unruffled to be working the assembly line. Pin-up wannabe? Doesn't have the "feel" of an authentic wartime photograph. Color's a little too perfect for early 40s color film. Modern re-enactment?Douglas Aircraft Assembly Worker 1942

There was series of these made early war. Kodak Chrome. Like the b25, b17 production line in colour etc. So this one is a part of it. It is a periode picture. Quite a few are poster here.BOGUS!

I've seen the Life Magazine B17, B25, and P40 series, and a bunch of P39, SBD, and B24 assembly line pics as well. Those were my frame of reference for saying this doesn't "feel" authentic. It's too "posed".There was series of these made early war. Kodak Chrome. Like the b25, b17 production line in colour etc. So this one is a part of it. It is a periode picture.

Yes but i guess you are a leap and a bound from a pretty lady,I've seen the Life Magazine B17, B25, and P40 series, and a bunch of P39, SBD, and B24 assembly line pics as well. Those were my frame of reference for saying this doesn't "feel" authentic. It's too "posed".
Despite constant cleaning, the assembly line is a dirty, messy, hazardous place, and no one comes to work dressed like that. I used to take a shower as soon as I got home to get the aluminum flakes out of my hair and all body crevices.
AMEN!Yes but i guess you are a leap and a bound from a pretty lady,
That's her alright, sans coveralls, sans headscarf, sans eye protection, and spotless, to boot. Unbelievable! Unreal. I volunteer to help her deal with her "metalflake" issue!Is this her again? The 8th frame down with her back to the camera, and a different coat on?
IIRC, that's a crop of a bigger shot. Taken '43? '44?BOGUS! Too clean, stylish, and unruffled to be working the assembly line. Pin-up wannabe? Doesn't have the "feel" of an authentic wartime photograph. Color's a little too perfect for early 40s color film. Modern re-enactment?
