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

Hello Al!'

              I have also picked up this Potrait as well.

Cheers,Morten.

I really like those Torpedo Mechanic portraits. Congrats on your new acquisition.

Cheers,

Larry

Another colourisation of a photo in my collection.

Very nice tally photo Morten.  Unterseebootsflottille Hundius was in operation for only a year (1 October 1938 - December 1939).

This is my (rough and rapid) translation Larry

While I served in the Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine.docx

Wonderful! Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into doing the translation.

I have many questions regarding his service record but this is not the right thread to do that.

I will probably transfer this to a new thread for discussion.

Thanks once again,

Larry

Very nice contributions guys.

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

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.

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.

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.

Larry

Hello Larry!

Thanks a lot for the plate! Do you know, from which year it is?

Hi,

The plate can be found here: http://www.niehorster.org/011_germany/symbols/_symbols_43.html

Cheers,

Larry

My pleasure.

Here is the Nachschub/Supply Trains symbol. The men in the photo are rear echelon troops

and older men were often used in this role.

Cheers,

Larry

It looks like the Nachschubtruppen (Supply Column) symbol. The M and N above is unusual.

A single M usually denotes Munitions while a single N denotes Nachschub.

A possible interpretation could be Munitions Nachschub or Munitions Supply Column.

Hi Morten,

Those pre-1940 patches are hard to find in photos.

Here is a "T" from a photo I posted a while ago.

Cheers,

Another.

You have very nice photos in your collection. Thanks for posting them.
