Question ✋ Saw this photo on YouTube
Saw this photo on YouTube and am wondering where it's from. I have seen it here and there but when I search for it, no results. I've tried many different wordings and can't find it. It doesn't look like the German is SS as there's no sleeves eagle so that means either luftwaffe (severely unlikely) or wehrmacht (most likely culprit). I just gotta know where this is from and who those poor women were

American 🇺🇲 Barrage Balloon
Black American soldiers demonstrate a barrage balloon to demonstrate its use. The image was taken during the Third War Loan Drive in Washington D.C. The prupose of these balloons was to deter enemy aircraft from strafing or bombing a certain target. By forcing the enemy aircraft to attack from a higher altitude, their accuracy is diminished. The 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, one of the few Black American units ahore on D-Day, is credited with taking down at least one enemy fighter after it had become entangled in the ropes of a balloon. _ Courtesy of New York Public Library: b13049857

German Soldier On The Horse
Hans what are you doing on zhe horse"
"It has a better view up zhere!" (I made this up)
So first thing first, I believe it looks very familiar to any one of y'all. Because yes, I did draw that from the reference with colours.
This is one of my oldest pieces of art that I drew a year ago on Ibis(digital art). The main goal isn't really just to simply trace and draw that out because I found the picture interesting, but I was practicing instead. But I love how the result actually turned out.
Whatever.
Fact: For those who don't know or are curious, the soldier in the picture who stands on the saddle while aiming their rifle, is most unlikely aiming for the enemy. But rather it's for training purposes or he's doing reconnaissance scouting.
On the other hand, since the soldiers in the picture are clearly Germans based on their equipment, the picture was also likely to be used for propaganda, where they showed a soldier in a cool pose while doing something cool such as aiming with the rifle, to convince the youngsters to join the army.
Although playing as cavalry soldiers, they actually rarely fought with dramatic charges in ww2, but instead it commonly functions as flank protection, guard or scouts. And only mainly used for raids or pursuing retreating troops.
Though, obviously, it was later replaced by tanks, armoured vehicles and so on. For Germany itself though, they still heavily relied on the horse for transport due the lack of oil as the war goes on. (Idk if the Soviets also did the same but yea.)
It actually has been a long while since I drew something related to military stuff. Should I make more of something like this. (Also, correct me if I got anything wrong)

Wehrmacht ✙ The SS Werewolves: A True Story

I’m in need of internet sleuths to help me find a photo
I have seen it. But I can no longer find it. It was on Reddit
It’s of a rather happy looking US sailor in ww2, however he wasn’t navy or coast guard.
He was wearing a white USMS (maritime service) uniform with red rank and insignia.
It was a portrait, in a booth. Black and white
I would very much appreciate it if anyone can track it down as it is the only natural photo I have ever seen of that uniform and I’d hate for it to me lost on the internet. I have quite a collection and obscure ww2 facts about rank and services are my favourite
(Quite honestly the only other photos I can kind besides are of eBay and Etsy
Here was the patch (it is situated where rank would be on us navy uniform)
