(Die Bilder stammen von einem amerikanischen Militärfotografen, der den deutschen RC-North-Kommandeur, Generalmajor Hans-Werner Fritz, auf seiner Weihnachts-Battlefield Tour begleitet hat; es sind also offizielle ISAF-Fotos. Veröffentlicht wurden sie bislang nur auf der Facebook-Seite des RC North, das ganze Album hier.)
