Hello Gentleman,

Fantastic photos, Richard!

I must admit this is the first time I see a period photo of H. Friess.

Do you know who is the conductor in Flakregiment 7 photo?

Cheers!

This is truely exciting!!! What else can you tell me about your grandfather's time in service? What rank did he attain?

Notice the officer in the center in the front row of the top photograph? He is a Musikmeister. These men wore special insignia(although cannot be seen too well in the photograph. Attached, I have posted a photograph of a Musikmeister shoulderboard from the 4th Flak Reg band. There were not too many of these men.

I have done a thread on the Luftwaffe Muskikorps, if you wish to take a look.

Hello Paul,

thank you for the informations.

My grandfather is in the first line, the second man from left. At this moment I have no further informations about him, but I am searching for more details.
