Thanks for commenting, guys. POWs or allies, I'm not sure. Probably never know for certain. Either way it's an interesting photo.

A friend sent this info to me, which lends credence to the possibility that these Czechs were allied with the Germans:
There was a small Czech Army setup after the Nazis took over and they were used against partisans and in 1944 they were sent to Italy ...and the uniforms in that pic would be correct so , if they were part of that group , they were allied with the Germans at the time ...but since there's no date , we don't know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Army_(Bohemia_and_Moravia)

ArHo, that's what I thought at first, but it's odd that they still have some gear on, none of the German soldiers appear to be armed, and it all seems very amicable. But perhaps they were defectors?

I have this ID for a Ministry of Transport official. I mostly collect military items, and was wondering if it is an uncommon/desirable document? From the printing on the first side, it certainly sounds important. ?
"The one named above exercises his activity on behalf of the Reich Ministry of Transport. He is entitled to do surveys on the commercial transport companies and the transport industry. He is particularly obliged to the conscientious fulfillment of his results on the basis of the decree against bribery and secret betrayal of unauthorized persons."0 -
Thank you for the reply, and sorry for the late acknowledgement!

Hi. I'm back after a long hiatus from collecting and I'm a bit rusty on these things. I'm a little confused by the unit designation on this document. The second Arabic numeral is the issue for me. Can someone help decipher exactly what FJ unit is referenced? Also, what is a good reference source for finding out more about the unit? I don't want to ask folks to do free research for me, so any pointers appreciated.
Regards, Kevin

Very nice! I haven't seen the whole boxed sets before. Have you ever lit them up?

Actually, the toilet is a most deadly place. I've heard that billions have been wiped out in them. :rolleyes:

Since you mentioned Transport Korps Speer (TKS), here's a couple more photos.

The sawback versions are less common, but I haven't seen them sell for more than the straight back version. They are both scarce. Frogs are extremely difficult to obtain -- good luck!

Here's a photo I like. Pilot in flight gear w/flare strap on leg. Also 3 RK awards in the picture. I'm afraid I don't recognize them.
