LarryT Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hi, Here is a Werkschutz portrait. I have seen documentation at another forum with a photo of a person with the same letters on his collar. If I remember correctly he was based in Paris. Cheers, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Larry- Thank you for sharing that amazing and rare portrait. I really like WS items. They are surprisingly rare. Here are the two items I have. A single tab for a Dornier Factory WS worker. And an award document for a brave WS worker(unknown details). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryT Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Hi Paul, That is a very nice tab and award document, thanks for sharing them with us. Would you agree that the gothic letters on the tab in my photo are "SC?" Interestingly a WS Dienstellausweiss posted over at WA forum shows a WS man with the exact same letters on his tabs. The Feldpost number typed on the document denotes Fliegerhorstkommandantur A 201/XII which according to Lexicon der Wehrmacht was an airfield established in October 1942 in South-Villecoublay, France. So my WS man was a civilian guard of some sort at an airfield in France? What would he be guarding? Any ideas?

I do not know what factory that could be at the moment. I can check my book when I get home though. There is a section dedicated to the WSh. These folks normally provided basic security(like a civilian security guard does today) and fire response. Most of these men were too old to join the military or were not qualified for medical reasons. Lets keep the pics coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
