I imagine the real event the officers were in much more comfortable clothing.

Actually, it was both. Once they arrived and realized how hot it was, they redesigned their uniforms. This guy explains it better than me.

'A Short Lull, Eastern Front 1943-44'. This painting has not much more context than trench warfare on the Eastern Front in mid- to late-war as the Germans are largely on the defensive. I was experimenting with sort of a 'Dutch angle' with this painting. Acrylic on canvas, 2017.
