German soldier in winter attire - rarely seen overshoes

A very nice view of how the German soldiers tried to protect theirselves from the harsch conditions they were confronted with, for example at the Ostfront. A wool overcoat is worn on top of his uniform, but more rare are the wicker overshoes, worn to isolate his feet from the frozen soil. Few regulations existed for these two items, so a variety can be seen in pictures, although the shoes are rarely seen.
The horse drawn sled is a nice touch to the picture.
