Planning a small vignette on a German observation team...any of u fine chaps have a good ref pic that I can use?

I believe MB has some box art of a German observation team.

These are signalers, but it's a similar set up with similar gear:





A google search for German artillery spotters or German observation team came up with these:







So if we've learned anything, it's to include radios and maps hahaha. I was surpsised by some of the results, but that's basically what they would look like. Good luck! And post some pictures!

Conor posted some outstanding pics of how the guys would look. Nice place to start.
When depicting a location though,remember the first rule of picking a position in the field. Avoid obvious locations like up in a tree or around a lone object like a single knocked out tank in a bare field. Your first priority is to NOT be seen. You want to see them but not have them see you.
If there is a hill,don't be on top of the hill but off to one side. Things like that.

Thanks guys

As Jerry said, the objective is NOT to be seen. For tips and pointers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltmMJntSfQI

Conor,

I've not "seen" that one before! LOL!

Tri Star has a set of officers with tripod mounted telescopes/binoculars. Don't know if that is what you have in mind.
