Yeah, I know - I haven't conclusively answered the old one (though it has been conclusively answered in the comments - with links)

I know what this *could* be - the fevered imaginings of a leftoid open borders advocate while lying in his sweat-soaked sheets having nightmares about Amerikka and the logical consequences of Arizona's new law.
But it's not.

Either way, the flags hanging vertically in the windows are wrong. (Unless they're covering vertical coffins)
That officer is planning ahead. He's brought the bulk of the German Army with him, and three other guys in case he needs some help.......
The only German solider that can carry a K98 concealed.........
It does look a bit showy. Movie? Reenactment?
Alternate explanation, some German troops training in a mock up of an American town/city, and the background is intended to represent a recruiting station?
Bill T converted his "Santa Claus" suit into a Wehrmacht costume and made an appearance to gain information on those who want to pretend to be :Dead Germans".
That said ... I just don't fit a 98 Mauser. The way that the sling attaches iritates me. Yes I do own one.
The one I do like is a "parts gun" assembled by my Gunsmithy Michael Allee Gunsmithing Only . I took him a new Israeli 8mm barrel and told him ... my barrel needs a new gun. He built me one around it. It is a dream. From the timney trigger to the stock .action, receiver sites (iron) and sling, it is my ultimate "field rifle".
He also built a heavy barrel model 98, with a laminate stock, timney trigger, and a bullet drop compensator telescopic site for my son ... "The Gr@ym@n" This guy knows his stuff.
