Vetinari Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 .........can you read what on the cap tallys of the two naby men is written??? Sadly i cannot read it, i will try later to make a better scan. But my photoshop skills are near zero. I can only make out that its a long name. Maybe Seebataillon. Best Regards V.

TacHel Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm going waaaay out on a limb here. A complete shot in the dark. Naval uniforms could be seen anywhere a ship went. Add a colonial uniform suggesting (maybe) Africa... Could the "pudgy boy scout" actually be a non German? A Boer? A British border/police/scout official? Like I said, waaaay out on a limb.

HeikoGrusdat Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 now my shot in the dark................. don`t ask me why but for me the whole scene looks like a shot from a theatre , cinema or other kind of acting thing.... it is too strange that one man of the Schutztruppen gives the hand to one native farmer (?) and two navy sailormen carry a german warflag...???!!!! Just my thoughts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 ....and not to forget they are not standing somewhere on a beach, in a desert or in a jungle........... look in the background , there are painted carpets and wallpapers to create the right stage atmosphere.........

Mark C Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The fellow on the left looks to me like a generic "settler/plantation owner." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
