Sergeant 08

Back to the Luftwaffe!

..

.

At the end of ww1 we should not forget the skulls on Freikorps vehicles!

Panzer!

And tanks!

More photos!

Have we ever talked about skull symbols on air planes or tanks?

Robin, I think you know the photo. Look at the woman in the background. I'm no fashion expert. But the style of clothes looks more like 50's or early 60's to me.

Some of these badges are still an mistery. When made?

Yes, I think! Post war swimming badge.

Is it not this one?

Rarer to find are small skulls on caps!

A skull on Imperial Marine caps? Possible on Freikorps headgear!

The same atelier, the same chair and vase, but only one year later....

1918! From the same source like the other photo that I posted!

Yes!

And back to the Flammenwerfer.....This is what I found today!

Not a lot of new skull related things during last weeks. Here are my two favourites. Leibhusaren!

Another "hero of the air" who used a skull! But it looks better on a busby.

Some collectors have staying power, others not.

In my opinion wounded.

NSDAP / DNVP = political party = political organization , I have no problem with it. But I think the "Nationale Front" was a political coalition. NSDAP and DNVP+ Stahlhelm (=Kampffront S-W-R) worked together during the Reichstagswahl 1933. Can you call a tinnie (that is a symbol for a political coalition) a membership badge? I don't think so. Whatever it is, it is not easy to find theme related informations.

NSDAP and DNVP. They worked together during local elections (Liste). A political unit....but no organization, I think.

Thomas, thanks for your help again! Maybe we need more time to find the truth, but it is out there....
