Gebirgsjäger troops take what was known as a "firebreak" beside an alpine road during training in Austria in summer of 1939. On their right sleeve, the embroidered Gebirgstruppen badge can be seen displaying the Edelweiss. Note their mountain boots bearing thick soles and heavy hobnails which were specially designed for mountain climbing.
