I’m always overjoyed when you do these. I’ve been using some of them as wallpaper images on my MP3 player, currently it’s dreamy, dreamy Capt. Hood. *sigh*

My obvious fave from this group is von Tirpitz, but there’s lots of niceness here. Mr. Caminetti has the big moustache and dreamy eyes I just love. And I bet you can guess what sort of thoughts General von Hindenburg is inspiring.

I’m willing to bet that, based on their choice of headgear, three of those “Russian” prisoners are actually from Turkmenistan.

Dammit, why does it never use the icon I choose?

A few of the Russian prisoners have either big afros or hats that look like big afros.

Wow! Again, love love LOVE it when you post your finds -- it's awesome to see so many varieties of facial hair (okay, the *really* outlandish moustaches have never really worked for me, but that's a personal preference ;o) ) in our forebear(er)s... ;o)

And is it just me, or is "von Tippitz" the frigging *spitting image* of andybr/AndyBr or what?!?!?! @_@

Wow, it’s like you read my mind! The two could be brothers!
