just wanted to share this photo received recently, one detail is very funny, you can see an American Combat infantry man badge at the man on the left.

How can you explain that ?
Two advices so far, the first one and the most credible I guess, a simple trade with an American soldier/officer during the "Elbe day" or the second version an award received for mutual combats at Torgau, maybe the Amercain and Soviet forces fought together (maybe not).

In any case I do believe it’s a good thing to share that picture, we will not see that very often I guess.
By the way can someone try to translate the text behind, please ?
