But who ARE those strange people on the cover of Led Zeppelin II?...

...I mean beside the band of course:

- There are the four sinister looking German officers... Are these really Germans to begin with? Would German officers wear thick, dark beards? (Maybe I haven't been around enough)...

- There is the black man-officer (obviously not a WWII German one), eyes rolling to the sky...

- Then there is the cuter version of Phyllis Diller...

 

Yeah, I'm curious to...who are they?

Thank you, Turnaround!

I should learn to rely on the Wikipedia a little more!

That's awesome. I guess I missed that episode!

 

Thanks to all. Been a Zep fan for 30 years and I don't think I've ever seen that photo before. Sort of Zep's streamlined version on the Sgt Pepper's cover.

Ironic that the Beatles had Aleister Crowley on a cover but LZ did not!

 

LZ were just posers.

 

True. Page only bought his house.
