Odulf Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Hi! I think this photo is LUFTSCHUTZPOLIZEI ?? img781.jpg Best Morten. Agree, Luftschutzpolizei Before, I have said some words about gathering information. To some this means: splashing all their needs of information on a forum, without doing any previous research and investing into a reference library. But I also realise that good books are not known to any one because there are so many titles (for better and worse) that is is difficult to decide what book to buy. In this particular case, I would advertise a book that I keep in my library at hand (see below). The only problem to some is, it is in German, but with a dictionary and a bit of effort you will find that you have a treasue trove at hand.

LarryT Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Recent addition to my collection. Langermass is a street in Cologne. Was there a bunker there? They wear cloth LSW caps, sanitats and SHD arm bands.Some of their belt buckles look to be unstamped. Cheers, Larry
Bernhard H.Holst Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Hello Larry. You most likely noticed the Bunker mentioned on the sign.I interpret the inscription to indicate that this medical readiness platoon is assigned to the bunker located in Langemass street. To my recollection air raid shelters were most often identified by their location. Before long these fellows had to show their mettle, the first 1,000 plane raid was directed at Cologne. Some of them were veterans of WW I as their wear of ribbon bars demonstrate. Bernhard H. Holst
nesredep Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Just picked up this portrait. Cheers,LarryWow,very nice new addition Larry!
LarryT Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Thank you.I would like to know the year this photo was taken. He doesn't seem to be wearing shoulder boardsbut there is a heavy seam on the shoulders of his jacket. He is also wearing a LW overseas cap, was this a common practice?CheersLarry
Paul R Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 Wearing LW overseas hat was very common. Fabulous photo. Odulf, another great image. I am surprised by the noncombat medal bars. He must have had an accident on the civilian side for that scar.
Odulf Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 An excremely rare portrait of a Hitjer Jugend lad with Luftschutz Mütze. He is wearing the typical Dutch Army jacket with over the Original Dutch shoulder straps his HJ shoulder strap (Number 283) and on the left sleeve the Gebietsdreieck (Triangle) Nord - Hamburg-Süd. The only modification is, German buttons replace the Original bronze buttons with a rampant lion armed with sword and a bundle of arrows.When the Germans invaded The Netherlands they sent the Dutch Army home, and captured all their uniforms, weapons end equipment. Many of the jackets were altered for the Wehrmacht. Generaly the simple standing collar was adapted and in many cases also the breast pockets were modified. Obviously, unaltered uniforms were put to use on the german Home Front. The photo is dated: April 1943. The lad's birthday is 17.4.27.
LarryT Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Lots to like in this photo. HJ wearing converted Dutch uniform is new to me.Congrats on a rare photo. Cheers,Larry
Paul R Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 I've never seen the HJ utilization of this uniform either. You guys have one heck of a photo collection.
