Good trigger discipline on the Brit’s part. And those Germans look like little kids still!

yes they look like teenagers. I guess they would have been part of the "Volkssturm".

For how young they look, and being late in the war, they seem to be well equipped. Panzerfausts, stg44, looks like full kit on the bicycles, uniform and camo blouse etc.

That British soldier is just so over it.

Just a cool couple of panzerfausts for handlebars.
