Robert Noss Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 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 "...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Noss Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 and yet another oneNext 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited June 15, 2008 by Ulsterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Noss Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Now the GLYou already know this oneAnother interesting one More details............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Noss Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 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................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 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!Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Nice piccies. I would say your fella in Amsterdam is wearing a set of unauthorised shoulder cords, something along this line: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Noss Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 and NOBODY would touch that today. Must be the world's first fake/re-enactor. 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 regardsRobert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Auxillary to a Transportation Speer unit? A couple more tunics that would be deemed "Post-war messed with" in today's market. Edited June 16, 2008 by Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
