Here is a colourisation of a SdKfz 10 towing an artillery gun. The photo is from an Inf. Rgt. 19 album in my collection. Cheers, Larry

Very nice contributions guys. I have now received the rest of the small photo set of the person in this photo. To my delight it also came with two typewritten pages highlighting his long and very interesting career. A lot of research for me to do. Will post the photos first. Cheers, Larry His very interesting career. No name attached, only his Stammroll number. If anyone wants to have a go at decyphering any of the text I would be very grateful. Cheers, Larry

Great photos Morten and fitzceraldo. The data base of cap tallies is growing bigger each week. I won a small photo lot at auction of a young man who originally served on the Torpedoboot Leopard. The photos are still in the mail but I thought I would post a preview of one of the photos. I will post scans of the rest when they arrive. Cheers, Larry

Latest addition to my collection. An Oberfeldwebel with what looks like Obermechaniker cyphers on his shoulder straps. Medal bar L- R: Hindenberg Cross for Non-combatants, Silesian Eagle II Class Medal, 8 Year Long Service Award, 4 Year Long Service Award. DRL badge under medal bar and finally Silesian Eagle Ist Class Medal at bottom. Cheers, Larry -
Tactical sign
LarryT replied to The Prussian's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Hi, I can not find any mention of MN together with the Nachschub or any other tactical symbol. M on its own usually means Munitions or Marine (not applicable in your photo). N usually means Nachrichten (I think also not applicable in your photo) or in some cases Nachschub. I think your photo is early war or earlier. All are wearing branch soutaches on their caps. Wearing of soutaches was banned from mid-1942 and while it was worn contrary to regulations throughout the war it's highly unlikely all the men in the photo would be wearing them at the same time.
