FJ Wedding photo

[Luftwaffe Rules]

Hi guys, most of you know but as of late my focus has been Luftwaffe Wedding photos because they tend to show the happiness in a time of war. Their also pretty easy on the budget too LOL. But here you go and as always if anyone could tell me what it says on the back it would be greatly appreciated! TIA and all the best, Jon

I cannot help you with what is on the back, but can you please do a close up scan of the collar tab(or the lack of)?

Hi Jon,

Are the gulls simply pressed through the collar or are the collar tabs in a darker color(not yellow)?

[Luftwaffe Rules]

Heres a much clearer pic, they seem to be of a darker color so prob not yellow. What else would it be perchance? Im not too aware of FJ wearing anything else than yellow? Have seen the occasional FJ Soldbuch stating they were members of a Flak group and had red tabs. All the best, Jon

Hello Jon.

The inscription says:

" To remember your work colleague

Leni

Easter 1943"

Thank you Bernhard!

Thank you so much Bernhard thats great!! Im assuming Leni is a girls name? Therefore this was used for her to give out to her co-workers? TIA and all the best, Jon

Hello Jon.

Leni is indeed a female first name ( think Leni Riefenstahl ).

I suppose such photos of rather important events were given to relatives, friends, colleagues etc

Yellow collartabs can look very dark in certain pics.., it has something to do with a certain process those days ...

For details concerning this process better ask a person in the photo hobby, they'll probably know how it's called.
