As in, what was the platoon leader armed with? Probably just a pistol, according to the KSTNs. link Though I wouldn't be surprised if a platoon leader 'acquired' a rifle to make himself look less important as a defense against snipers. The guy at the front of the formation seems to be an ammo carrier for one of the LMGs, so he has a rifle, looks like a basic Kar98K. |

Nice ! And sometimes the Sqd or Plt Ldrs would carry an MP-40 SMG… |

Just to clarify. The chap in front is not necessarily "the leader". He is carrying an ammo box for the MG34. He has one on his back too. The gun has a smaller drum attached That is a very posh pontoon bridge to have a nice hand rail for the less mobile or able-bodied |

That is a very posh pontoon bridge to have a nice hand rail for the less mobile or able-bodied Images of German pontoon bridges show that the 'handrail' was not unusual. |

"TMP link As deephorse suggests, hands rails are fairly common on German pontoon bridges. |
