I post my Luftwaffen-officials here in this new topic, the intention is, that Paul R can take them and sort them in, in his interesting threads about the Luftwaffen uniforms.

First one - this older comrade is shown in his officials-uniform...

... but later he wore the uniform of an official of the LSW ( Luftschutzwarndienst )

Another fellow, wearing the SHD insignia. SHD stands for " Sicherheits- und Hilfsdienst "

......

[Robert Noss]

Technical inspector of the Luftwaffe

Official in the rank of a Stabsintendant

and another one

.......

[Robert Noss]

and yet another one

Next one is a Oberstabsintendant. His name was Martin Zwing. He was on duty at the airbase Bad Aibling.

Next one - I am not sure if this is an official. Narrow shoulder boards but almost like a general ?

However, I like that photo very much. I believe that it was taken at Amsterdam.

And some officials at the Akropolis in Athen.

and more closer

Will continue later. ( Fleamarket time now )

Kind regards

Some officials again

[Ulsterman]

That last one (#5) has a corker of a ribbon bar: backwards or Austrian (?) Austrian/stateLS and HK?

The one above the Spanish cross is worth discussing too-....quite the Bavarian.

Now the GL

You already know this one

Another interesting one

More details

...............

[Robert Noss]

Notice the differences between the portrait and the group photo.

The men in the group do not wear the GL on collar tabs, they wear them directly on the collar.

They also do not wear a Luftwaffe breast eagle, but the metal GL badge instead.

And they wear side-caps without eagle but with a soutache. Quite interesting.

Next one is from the Sicherheits- und Hilfsdienst

[Robert Noss]

Details of the cuff-title ( wish I had a better one )

Now one of the Reichsluftschutzbund

And last one for now, a group of civil airbase personnel

.............

[Robert Noss]

Some of them wear civil pilot badges on their caps

In the middle a Luftwaffen officer with the cape

and more pilots

All for now. Hope this is suitable for You, Paul.

Kind regards

Robert

[Paul R]

Thank you Robert!! There is so much. I will place copies in the appropriate section. I like the image with the various officials at the award ceremony!! Great stuff!

Nice piccies. I would say your fella in Amsterdam is wearing a set of unauthorised shoulder cords, something along this line:

[Guest Rick Research]

The chubby fellow in photo 1 is wearing the LSW "breast eagle"-- I wonder if he just borrowed his pal the Luftwaffe Hauptmann's cap for that photo?

The guy on the left in the Acropolis photo is wearing a uniform of such profound weirdness-- microscopic chest pockets in the wrong place, hem too short so the lower pockets are jokes, and apparently 5 buttons in the front that all I can say is

and NOBODY would touch that today. Must be the world's first fake/re-enactor.

I noticed that one too - very unusual. Also interesting one is wearing a pistol and the other a dagger.

The photo of the fellow with the silver Spanish Cross without swords is a scarce one - my sources show only 327 of those were awarded.

Great group of photos - thanks for sharing them!

First Re-enactor !! Very good !

I forgot to mention why I like the Amsterdam photo - look at the man at the left - he is making a film ! Not photos !

Kind regards

Robert

[Paul R]

I wish I knew who these guys were...

[Scott]

Auxillary to a Transportation Speer unit? A couple more tunics that would be deemed "Post-war messed with" in today's market.

!!

I just learned something new. Without swords means not in a combat area?

This beauty is from the collection of Michael Swan!
