Post # 13264 - I've seen that also captioned as a Canadian sniper. Note that the weapon is not cocked, presumably a posed shot for the Press.

13267 ... considering that only 68 of these beasts were build [Wiki] ... they have got to be the most photographed tank of the war. Speaks to them being an 'oddity' in German eyes, IMO, like the two-headed lady in the side-show.

Probably the majority of sniping pictures are posed, the last thing you want when your trying to be stealthy is someone shoving a camera up your nose.

Not a Bren in Post 31274. Possibly it's 'parent', the CZ, or perhaps a Madsen - can't see the rear end clearly enough to determine.
