John! Merry Christmas! Apologies for my late reply. The day was long and I have been working on top of having the flu. I watched a few moments of “It’s A Wonderful Life” and gave thanks for my blessings—friendship with you being strong amongst these. One day soon I will finish what I start, John! I promise.

And wait.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait WAIT.
Big win for me. The diorama. The 250. This is it. In Color. In LIFE Magazine!
Now I need to celebrate but all I have in the house is cough syrup.

Man I love this photo! I know, the color is all washed out, and it’s over exposed... but it’s REAL! Not somebody trying too hard with their computer... a great bit to note is the dried dirt & mud all over the running gear, while the camo scheme is moderately visible on the hull. And then the pine boughs... great stuff!
That 10th Panzer Kfz.250 from Life Magazine is great too! Funny how they left that one in gray and did not paint it in tropical colors. But the Jerry can is in a tropical color...

March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks, Carlos and Clint... so I figured out that the U.S. Tank Commander is wearing this on his head...
... but what are those two things he is inspecting?

Those look to be the vehicle’s headlamps that he is inspecting. At least that is my best guess based off of the photos. That is the same vehicle as in the color photo, the headlamps are not on their fender mounting posts, and they look to be the same size and shape... they also appear to have some sort of fabric black out covers.
