Larry thanks - great photos. Like the one with the top cover up.  Do you ever see any WWI or inter-war MG 'stuff' in Australia?

Mark

Unfortunately I have not seen any inter-war MG's in Australia.

Here is another photo showing a couple of MG's on a dune at Dunkirk.

Larry

I doubt this Larry, to my opionion it is an Oberfähnrich..

I stand corrected. Should have looked at the pips on his shoulder straps.

I recently  picked up this photo of three early NSDAP Political Leader brownshirts.

All three were also members of the NSBO.

Hi Larry,

 

it could be one of the "Schiffsstammabeilung" that starts and is followed by a number from 1-20 ?

 

Cheers,Martin.

Thanks Martin,

That makes more sense.

When I bought this photo the cap tally was described as "Werftstammabteilung."

On close inspection I am not so sure. Was there such a tally?

There does seem to be an "ft" just before stammabteilung but it is inconclusive.

Larry

Recent addition to my collection. Langermass is a street in Cologne. Was there a bunker there?

They wear cloth LSW caps, sanitats and SHD arm bands.Some of their belt buckles look to be unstamped.

Members of Flak Rgt. 11 share a joke. Obergefreiter Haschem is at right.

Cheers,

Larry

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Here is a photo showing reversible quilted winter jackets being worn. Obergefreiter Arthur Haschem is in the middle.

Photo taken at Orel.

Thanks Guys, much appreciated.

Here is another series from the album. Caption says: "Vormarsch Mingsts - Briangst."

I guess that translates as "Advance from Minsk to Briansk." Photos show scenes of recent fighting with burning villages, villages being bombed,

vehicles and troops of Flak Rgt. 11 waiting until bombing is over before moving on.

Guys,

From today, I thought you all may like it?

Jock

Nice photo of a 2cm Flakvierlung 38.

More from my Flak Rgt. 11 album.

Nice!

Flak Rgt. 19.

Very interesting Larry!

If either of these jackets turned up today the 'mob' would say they had been upgraded no doubt, just goes to show!

Jock

I agree. I believe the GD Cuff title was introduced in 1944 so late war portraits. It is possible that both men have had their cuff titles quickly sewn on before posing for the camera.

Anyway, good clear photos of GD cuff titles and board cyphers are hard to find so congrats on a nice portrait.

Cheers,

Larry

Hi Jock,

Here is my portrait with hand-sewn cuff band.

Cheers,

Larry

Another from my collection.

Larry

Thanks Paul.

Here is another from my collection. I like the intimate pose. I think the numbers on his boards

shows he served with Flak Rgt. 89. I will post the Beamte photos in another thread.

Cheers,

Larry

Flak Leutnant portrait.

Nice portraits Jock.

Is the GD cuff band crudely hand-sewn on.

I have a GD portrait which shows the soldier in almost exactly the same pose.

His cuff band is also crudely sewn on.

Cheers,

Larry
