Some other photos which are new to the collection

Here are some other photos which are new in the collection

Start with a man from the Transportgruppe Speer

More interesting is the photo together with his comrades

Closer:

Left and right men are from the NSKK, see their shoulder boards and the cap eagles.

The two in the middle are from the Transportgruppe Speer, note they wear different shoulder-boards and different cap eagles.

One is even wearing a mountain cap, which I have not seen so far on NSKK and Speer photos.

And the man on the left is wearing a blank buckle, quite interesting.

Next one is a portrait of three brothers

My attention came to the boots of the Luftwaffen soldier

Although there is no proof, I believe he was a Fallschirmj?ger.

What do You think ?

Now one sad photo, but quite remarkable

He gave an arm and an eye for F?hrer, Volk and Fatherland and got the golden wound badge and was proud enough to go to the photographer studio to get himself a portrait.

That one is a very nice one

Forestry men are not often to find and this old fellow has a nice medal bar

Last but not least comes a very rare photo, which I was hunting for some time and today I could finish the deal

Member of the Sonderverband 288

The photo was taken at the isle of Rhodos 1943

Of course I can not compete with Gordon Williamson's amazing lot of photos of the Sonderverband but I am quite proud of this one.

Note the little skulls on the collars.

Thanks for viewing.

Kind regards

as usual- outstanding photos.

That forestry official is quite something. I wonder if professional foresters counted as "in uniform" for the Hk? I doubt it, yet one does see forestry officials with noncom HKs a lot.

Nice pix.

I wonder if the forestry man had his picture taken after 1945?

The TR awards have the swastika turned to the reverse.

...and note the banned Alfons badge.

Makes one wonder if it was photoshopped to fuzz the swaz.

I made two more scans of the forestry man.

It is strange how the orders appear on the photo.

The photo could be after war, hmm. But if so, it was very shortly after the war. Agfa paper, photographers stamp.

It could be, that the photo was taken before 1945 but re-printed after 1945 and the photographer made the swastikas "disappear" somehow.

Well spotted. I did notice but it just didn't register in my brain
