Who said that serious Nazis didn’t appreciate goofing around? In this photo, Generaloberst Eduard Dietl, commanding 20th Mountain Army, gestures mockingly as Norway Reichskommissar Terboven purports to hit him with a toy sledgehammer and as SS Standartenfeurhrer Carlo Otte, on the right, gets ready to strike the general as well with a mock fist. Photo shot in Ivalo, Finland, July 1942.
