The World War II combat images were blue-screened and are mostly composite images of the figures against a photographic background with lots of effects. The tanks for the most part are photos of real tanks as I was too lazy to take out my models and pose them. There were plenty of great pictures on the Internet.
The red stars on the one T-34 are exaggerated to make it clear it's a Russian tank.
Panzerfausts are the antitank rockets that the guy saying it is carrying under his arm. He's wearing a black uniform, but he's not some evil SS type, that uniform is actually one of a German tank crewman. Black was chosen before the war because it doesn't show grease and dirt.
Panzerfausts were a great equalizer for the Germans against the hordes of Russian tanks they encountered late in the war. They were cheap to make, easy to use and very effective.
