Robert Noss Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Here are some other photos which are new in the collectionStart with a man from the Transportgruppe SpeerMore interesting is the photo together with his comradesCloser:Left and right men are from the NSKK, see their shoulder boards and the cap eagles.The two in the middle are from the Transportgruppe Speer, note they wear different shoulder-boards and different cap eagles.One is even wearing a mountain cap, which I have not seen so far on NSKK and Speer photos.And the man on the left is wearing a blank buckle, quite interesting........

Robert Noss Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Next one is a portrait of three brothersMy attention came to the boots of the Luftwaffen soldierAlthough there is no proof, I believe he was a Fallschirmj?ger.What do You think ?.......

Robert Noss Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Now one sad photo, but quite remarkableHe gave an arm and an eye for F?hrer, Volk and Fatherland and got the golden wound badge and was proud enough to go to the photographer studio to get himself a portrait.......

Robert Noss Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Last but not least comes a very rare photo, which I was hunting for some time and today I could finish the dealMember of the Sonderverband 288The photo was taken at the isle of Rhodos 1943Of course I can not compete with Gordon Williamson's amazing lot of photos of the Sonderverband but I am quite proud of this one.Note the little skulls on the collars.Thanks for viewing.Kind regardsRobert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 as usual- outstanding photos.That forestry official is quite something. I wonder if professional foresters counted as "in uniform" for the Hk? I doubt it, yet one does see forestry officials with noncom HKs a lot.

Robin Lumsden Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nice pix.I wonder if the forestry man had his picture taken after 1945?The TR awards have the swastika turned to the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) ...and note the banned Alfons badge.Makes one wonder if it was photoshopped to fuzz the swaz. Edited October 2, 2008 by Ulsterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Noss Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I made two more scans of the forestry man.It is strange how the orders appear on the photo. The photo could be after war, hmm. But if so, it was very shortly after the war. Agfa paper, photographers stamp. It could be, that the photo was taken before 1945 but re-printed after 1945 and the photographer made the swastikas "disappear" somehow.Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
