Hi Paul,

Here's a couple of RLB portraits in my collection.

Cheers,

Larry

[LarryT]

As above.

[Paul R]

Very rare and awesome photographs. Thank you both for sharing. The WW1 U-Boat veteran image is super cool. I wonder how he earned the '39 clasp for his EK2? He must have been in the regular military as well? The NCO level photograph is really nice as well. You guys have some phenominal pics! Are there more?

Hello my friend Pau!

It is great pleasure to contribute to your thread

You are the best to start rare and interesting threads.

Best regards,Morten.

[Paul R]

You have many rare and wonderful items too. I love seeing your collection photos.

[LarryT]

Hi Paul,

You start some really nice threads and I often find myself looking through my collection for something to contribute.

How about something similar like Werkschutz (factory/plant protection police). I have a nice portrait that I can contribute.

Cheers,

Larry

[Paul R]

Please start a thread! I will love to see it. I love Werkshutz items.

[nesredep]

Hello!

Some contribution to your thread Paul!

RLB.

[nesredep]

Hello!

And this SHD Photo without information.

Best regards,Morten.

[Paul R]

Thanks for sharing those great images. I wonder who the visiting General is in the first photo? I really am into the SHD portrait.

[LarryT]

Obertruppmeister with nice medal bar.

Cheers,

Larry

[Paul R]

That is a righteous photo. I love that medal bar. Nice SA Sports Badge.

Chart for all the armbands/cuff bands of the SHD..... I have only seen 2 of the ranks so far....

[Paul R]

Yes, the Armband ranks are nearly impossible to find, in my opinion. What book did this come out of? I like the graphics.

[LarryT]

That is a righteous photo. I love that medal bar. Nice SA Sports Badge.

Thanks Paul.

How about this old gentleman proudly posing for the camera.

Gotta love his goatee and moustache.

He wears a Luftschutz cap and insignia, sanitats armband, Sicherheits-u. Hilfsdienst armband, he wears a Weimar-era Red Cross belt and buckle.

His boots are the type seen in 1920s-30s photos. I know nothing about his tunic.

Cheers,

Larry

[Paul R]

He must have been in his mid 40s during WW1

What do You think about this photo Paul R!

[Paul R]

That is interesting... armed LS Polizei? How can you tell that they are not regular police?
