On further notice, I agree with Slicht & Angolia, that the "K" Schulterklappe is probably dating from the Reichsmarine.
"Kanal" seems odd to me, because the Germans did not get to the Kanal before June 1940, and by then all tactical information (Roman numbers and letters) had been removed from the Naval Schulterklappen for reasons of security. So why add tactical information when a year before all these characters were removed?
The "K" from the Reichsmarine would indicate "Küste", this could be Küstenverteidigung or Küstenartillerieschule. The Schulterklappe could have been worn in the early days of the Kriegsmarine, but fact is, that it does not show up in any KM regulation (so far).
So, my educated guess would be, as the "K" is visible only on one person, that he is a reservist wearing his old Schulterklappe. I know nothing about large or smaller "K".
Hi Odulf,
This is VERY Informative,thanks for Your work!
Cheers,Morten.

Shipboard Aircraft
The ships were designed originally to carry three floatplanes of the standard naval type, the Arado Ar 196. The crew consisted of a Luftwaffe pilot and a naval officer as navigator/gunner. The latter, though seconded to the Seeluftwaffe, wore naval uniform and took part in routine shipboard watchkeeping and battle duties. Maintenance of the aircraft was performed by Luftwaffe personnelSource: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=931140

A very very nice and interesting photo. Obviously the funeral party are Luftwaffe, to bury one of their comrades, but the Catholic chaplain is of the Army. Because Goering would not have any chaplains at all in the Luftwaffe, for the occasion of military funerals, chaplains had to be "borrowed" from the Army or Navy.
Hi Odulf,
Thanks for very good information and comment on my photo!
Cheers,Morten.

Another interesting portrait, with information.
We see a Maschinen-Obermaat of the 1. Komp. Marine-Stabsabteilung Festungskommandantur LS Gotenhafen [1st Coy Navy Staff Unit of the Garrison Administration Gotenhafen - presenty named Gdynia], the photo is dated 5 April 1940. Interesting to note the crossed anchors below the letter "O" (for "Ostsee"), the early style cap with woven roundel and oak leaves. Also interesting to see his ribbon bar, which denotes that he is from Austria, with 2 medals for bravery in the Great War.
Hi Edgar,
Your photo is a stunner!
Cheers,Morten.
