norwest78 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 For a couple of years, I've had a grouping of photos that follow a LW soldier through various stages in his career. Then the other day on ebay, I spotted another photo of him. What's more, the photo showed him at a later stage, when he'd received his EK1 and NCO promotion. Quite a coincidence, and I'm happy to say that I was able to get the photo at auction. It is the last one posted here.Regards,Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIC Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi Kevin and Andreas! I believe I can say with 100% certainty that your Fliegerschutzen wears a 2nd Pattern Assmann Radio Operator/Air Gunner Badge - Look at the size of that wreath!

Here's the pic he uses for his ebay ad.I'm beginning to think that maybe this guy was triplets or something!--Kevin Edited August 5, 2008 by norwest78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
