Laurence Strong Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Hi GaryNice Shoulder cords. The first set however are not for a Luftwaffe Sonderfuhrer. There was no silver braid running through the cord. Both Heer and Luftwaffe Sonderfuhrer of Post Group O and Post group G wore shouldercords of a double braid of dark green withor without silver slides. What you have posted I have over time identified as cords for a Heeres Beamte a. K. 1939 regulations NCO mit portepee.Here are Sonderfuhrer cords

The medium grade level did use the shoulder cords with the silver running through it. Please see the tunic I have posted in the first page of this thread. The shoulder straps you have up are for a LW Sonderfuhrer of the lower grade level.

Paul R Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Larry! That is a really awesome photograph. I actually like it a lot. What is the lower badge he is wearing? Is there anything written onto the reverse?
Laurence Strong Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I am thinking it might be the Reiterabzeichen. Larry
LarryT Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I am thinking it might be the Reiterabzeichen. Larry Thanks guys, it might be the Reiterabzeichen but it is hard to tell. Of course the KVK was awarded to civilians as well as military personnel who performed outstanding service for the war effort. Cheers, Larry

Odulf Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Interesting stuff, I have alwys had a soft spot for Beamter. Here are some Beamter auf Kriegsdauer:
Odulf Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Two very interesting photos which belong together, showing a Beamter a.K. at work. Many of the official films and photos, as made by the Kriegsberichter units were in fact made with a B.a.K. behind the camera. In the first photo he is obviously guided by the major behind him. This major (probably an Austrian by birth) is clearly visible in the second photo.

Odulf Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Many of the elderly Beamter served previously (in the First World War) as regular soldiers, as can be noted from their ribbon bars and decorations. Some even served in some of the many the Freikorps after 1918. Edited September 12, 2014 by Odulf
Paul R Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 Odulf, On the first set, third from the right... are you sure that this one is wartime? The uniform looks post war? Could this be some sort of transitional uniform? Also, there is no chest eagle. This uniform is either a very unstandard tailored example or ... ? Interesting. Morten and Odolf, you have some amazing photos. Once I get my wife to transfer the scanned photo to my email, I will post it. Paul
Paul R Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 Odulf, I just saw your last two posts with Admin Official photos. You have some really amazing shots. I really like the NCO admin photo. I will have to start a thread for LW Beamte photos. I love these!
Odulf Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Last but not least, there was the Truppen-Sonderdienst (TSD). This is one of my favorite photos, nothe the most interesting ribbon bar of this guy... The photo is dated: "Weihnachten 1944, from Otto" Edited September 12, 2014 by Odulf

Paul I am not sure Paul, there was a text written on the back in pencil, but it has been removed and the impressions left are difficult to decyphre. Perhaps some day with a black light lamp or so... I have always had this in a box with post war photos of POWs etc.

This is one of my favorite photos, nothe the most interesting ribbon bar of this guy... The photo is dated: "Weihnachten 1944, from Otto" I have not seen more than one or two TSD photos. These are rare. I love that ribbon bar. NSDAP Long Service and Olympic Support Medal, First Class no less. I bet that this was an awesome medal bar to look at. Interesting hat as well. It looks like an EM Hermann Goring Division visor cap with officer's cord applied. Really cool.
Paul R Posted September 13, 2014 Author Posted September 13, 2014 Here are a couple of mine. I need to start scanning more of my photos. These are some really nice portraits. One is of a Major's equivalent and the other is a really high quality NCO print.
