    Dear Gefreiter,

    He is a member of a Luftwaffe band unit, an Obermusikmeister (equivalent to a Oberleutnant). The tabs he is wearing are the post 37 pattern.

    He is wearing the SA sports badge on his pocket flap and a medal bar with: 1914 EK2, Combattant Hindenburg Cross, unknown and (I believe) a Prussian Long service award.

    Reverse apperars to have his rank and name "Obermusikmeister Paul Kutze of the Luftwaffe".

    Gary,

    All along I thought you were a SERIOUS WW2 German militaria collector!!! Nice stuff, really.

    Happy New Year!

    People think I'm an SS collector because I comment on it most of the time. For many years Willi Schumacher was my mentor and taught me a lot about Waffen-SS, but I could never really afford to collect it, so I collect Wehrmacht (Armed Forces): Heer, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. In fact just today I picked up a package from Bill Shea with a beautiful Kriegsmarine enlisted overseas cap with the emblem on the side for U-391, which was sunk with all hands in the Bay of Biscay in 1943 while returning from its first patrol. It was attacked and sunk by an RAF bomber on anti-submarine patrol. Here is a picture of the cap:

    Paul,

    I've already been posting some of my stuff on this forum. Check this out: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39255

    That has some of my Wehrmacht uniforms on it. I've got five Luftwaffe, including a major general named to Johannes Schleich (which I'm still paying on), 5 Kriegsmarine (of which one is a Konteradmiral and service cap, which I will start paying on in June 2010 and finish in October 2010), and two Heer, including on Oberfeldwebel black panzer uniform (3 piece) with M38 overseas cap with pink soutache.
