Laurence Strong Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Killed in Russia on 20 July 1942 fighting Partisans. Thanks Paul :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 That is a very cool piece!! Now was he fighting partisans or did they ambush/kill him? I do not see him actively hunting for partisans. I guess we will never know. Does it list any awards for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi PaulNo decorations listed. I would be inclined to say it was an ambush or attack on an isolated rear area unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Now that?s a rare one ! I?ve never run into a Sonderfuhrer Deathcard and it?s interesting how they posted a shot of him not wearing a SF Uniform . We rarely see anything from this group so thanks for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Strong Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi MikeSweet tunic. His rank insignia is consistent for a Sonderfuhrer NCO, I believe that the tabs would show a Luft blue waffenfarbe. This is only the second image I have seen of a NCO. There are lots of officer photo's around.Thanks for the comments :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of officer photo's around.Thanks for the comments Me too ..at least this is your second , yours is a first for me and I love it ! I bought my SF back around 1969-70 and back then none of us really had a clue of exactly what it was.Funny how little we knew back then and yet the "Hobby" still grew ...and we're still learning today !Here's a better shot of the Collar Tabs and of the Grey backed Breast Eagle (which we rarely see) -- Edited March 5, 2009 by Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an awesome set. Very rare and desireable. You should start a new thread on this uniform.
