A Snapshots of Prague, Autumn 1939
Peiper is pretending he isn’t there at all. Max Wünsche, meanwhile, is very obviously trying to “borrow” his friend Hans Pfeiffer’s Iron Cross — purely out of friendly admiration XD. At this point, Max is still firmly attached to Hitler’s backside, since he has not yet been allowed anywhere near actual fighting. Pfeiffer, by contrast, was permitted to take part in the Polish campaign, which was something of an exception. Hitler’s adjutants/aides tended to receive awards rather quickly — mainly so that they could be taken back before anything unfortunate had a chance to happen to them.
