| General Description | Les Invalides, officially known as L'Hôtel national des Invalides (The National Residence of the Invalids), is a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose. The buildings house the Musée de l'Armée, the military museum of the Army of France, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine, as well as the burial site for some of France's war heroes, notably Napoleon Bonaparte. |
| Front Description | The German soldier carried a set of six ammunition pouches suspended from a leather belt. A Brotbeutel (bread bag), an identity disc that had engraved on it the regimental and company number as well as the number of the individual on the company roll. Initially the German soldiers wore dark brown corduroy trousers and grey-brown jackets. As the war wore on these men switched to a more plain uniform and the distinctive spiked helmet of Hogan's Hero's fame was replaced by the infamous coal scuttle 'Fritz" helmet used by the German army from 1916 until the end of the second world war. |
