Closer view. You can just make out the 7.

Very nice photo showing a KM Chaplain. Do you know where the photo was taken. Seems some family were present, widow perhaps?

Here is an in the field photo showing a Chaplain performing what I think is Holy Communion.

The crown is a royal not a mere aristocracy crown , and yes , Goering forbade the chaplains into his" Luftwaffe . My Luftwaffe is nazi saids the pompous kerl . but as most of the members of the LW were believers , they got in the need of lend a chaplain from the Heer or the KM . curiously the Waffen SS of Himmler allowed the muslims of the Handschar division to have a imam and to the finns of the volunteer finnish bataillon of the Waffen SS to have a protestant chaplain .

Thank you Bayern for your informative reply. If the crown is a royal symbol I wonder who was being buried.

A Heer officer pays his respects to fallen comrades. A Chaplain can be seen standing far right of photo.

Hello : White coffin with royal crown , catholic chaplain , inciense bearer altar boy , interesting . a high ranked dead .

Possibly someone from the aristocracy being buried.

Here is a Heer Chaplain presiding over a Luftwaffe funeral. I believe Goring forbade chaplains in Luftwaffe ranks.

Very nice Morten, thanks for contributing to this thread.

Heer Chaplain. Note the white coffin.

Please post your Wehrmacht Chaplain photos. They can be from any branch of the Wehrmacht.

I will start with this Wehrmachtkriegspfarrer ( military Chaplain) portrait.

Very nice funeral photos showing KM Chaplain. Would it be better to start a new thread on Chaplain photos from all branches of the Wehrmacht? I have a few I could contribute.

Cheers,

Larry

Hi Morten,

I could make a KM Chaplain thread but I only have these two photos. Does somebody have any more to post?

I do have a few Heer Chaplain photos in my collection.

According to Angola & Schlicht's "Die Kriegsmarine - Uniforms & Traditions Vol. 2" the collar patches in my photos are of the M1942 pattern. Odulf is correct in stating the Chaplain is of the Protestant/Evangelical faith as there is no Stola worn and no "Christ" on his cross.

See scans from the book.

Cheers,

Larry

And

Thanks Odulf and GreyC for your comments.

The men are wearing "Kriegsmarine" cap tallies and most wear Minensucherabzeichen.

At least two are wearing EK 2 ribbons. I was thinking the location could be somewhere in Norway?

Some close-ups showing more details.

Hi,

I recently managed to purchase two photos showing a Chaplain presiding over a KM funeral. There is no writing on the back of the photos.

There are a lot of sombre faces in the photos.

Here is the first one.

Cheers,

Larry

Second photo.
