Luftwaffe Rules Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 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)?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi Jon,Are the gulls simply pressed through the collar or are the collar tabs in a darker color(not yellow)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffe Rules Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited May 2, 2007 by Luftwaffe Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA and all the best, JonHello 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 etcBernhard H.

Jos Le Conté Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 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.Jos.
