The ordinary rifleman's line of sight
The standing soldier brings his rifle into the classic aimed position. He represents the German infantryman still equipped with a bolt-action weapon in an army whose machine guns and submachine guns often dominate popular imagery.
The K98k was a shortened development within the Mauser rifle family, rather than a new automatic system. Each aimed shot still belonged to a manually operated action. That makes the still, concentrated pose appropriate: the figure is about an individual sight picture, even when placed beside a team carrying much greater automatic firepower.
