Its stuck in my head ever since. My guess is its from a training exercise rather than actual combat.

What do you suspect is incorrect about it?
The second one is certainly real, its part of a group of SS Grenadiers from Kampfgruppe Hansen in the Ardennes/Alsace-Lorraine offensive of 1944. They'd just captured (and loted) a US patrol and in turn got ambushed by a German propoganda photographer who had them running up and down making 'action' shots when it all went quiet.
Its one of the iconic photos of the period. Theres quite a bit of interest in certain circles in finding out who this guy is.
