And no Thinsulate in those boots either, just leather and damp wool socks.
But they're still grinning! Must really love their huntin'...

Or be really sick of spam!

Great photo.

In the region and timing of the Ardennes Offensive / Battle of the Bulge. Was recorded by American troops as being a very cold winter. For those especially without winter gear.

Hares and deer, no doubt better than beans and spam, until Army cooks get hold of them!

Those European Hares are quite large. I used to hunt them for food with and for my Belgium Shepherd. He'd get 1/2 1 day and the other 1/2 the next day. After they were frozen, I'd cut them in half with a sickle. Not gun shy (10-.22 only - he didn't like the 12 bore), he loved to hunt them with me. That would be about 1966 or so.

That one pic of "Kaiser Bill" as my wife's East Prussian grandmother called him (she liked his Dad, but not him. )...

Looks very much like a US Mills ammunition belt.

Very interesting historical photos.

We need a German "the Shooting Party" type movie. Maybe a noble blue blood deer and boar driven hunt weekend.

Are all the men wearing the same clothes wearing army uniforms, or forester uniforms, or a mxture?

most men wearing the prussian forester uniform



some are simply foreigners like here left of his majesty his cousin zcar nicolaus from russia


- the idiot who startet the great war on july 30, 1914 by mobilize his army against germany. a mistake that killed his entire beloved family after the russian hordes wreak havoc in east prussia like pigs.
same behavior they still showing today in ukraine.

but who would be the bad guy than in the storyline? hollywood style would be a young american found himself on such a hunt, an arrogant count beat him for nothing but he clever knock him out. then the complete hunting party try to kill him but he take one after the other in a most brutal way, most time with a .45 Colt SAA shooting the head off or the balls.

in the end riding on a rainbow unicorn into the sundown to free people of colour.

Ausgezeichnet!

That's a screenplay!

Delete this immediately before anyone steals it and sends it off to 20th Century Studios!

lanc, it's your chance to make a mint!

(We expect to be informed where to see you in your cameo appearance...the Poacher maybe? )

Unusual to wear blue as a hunting colour. But I'm guessing they stand with attendants in a shooting line, animals being driven towards them by beaters.

The hat appears in the photos to be a form of slouch hat?

Interesting they all wear a uniform. So regimented.

I think czar nicolaus actually wear a dark green hunting costume. on black and whito photo colours sometimes change into obscure.

anyone had some kind of a uniform then, also I have an old uniform in the wardrobe( don't fits anymore).
forester still have a uniform here but it changed over the last decades and now it become woke.
realy

Pink woke uniform?

Or metrosexual urban?

I pictureforest greens and browns , loden cloth, wool as the traditional clothes. Maybe lederhosen in the south.

so called modern functional wear like this






its just a small step to the 82 genders
and looks like tramps compared with the uniforms they had when I was a child

this was the common style up to the early 1990s


not to talk about the custom made uniforms in the monarchy

Yup.

That is exactly what it is.
