German "Gebirgsjäger" during World War 2

Although these are mainly Nazi propaganda pictures, I thought they are worth sharing. Some "impressive" pictures of the German alpine companies during the second World War can be found here: http://www.gebirgsjager.de/Bilder/gesch ... 01_jpg.htm (you can switch pictures with "Vor" and "Zurück"

The pictures are quite intresting. Not only on a mountaineering level but also to see the methods of National Socialist photographers, moviemakers, etc.
Also intresting to see Leni Riefenstahl's influence!
