PKeating Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Another of the images from a group of photos that belonged to a veteran of the SS-VT Standarte "Deutschland". The good-humoured young men in this snapshot seem to be on the march towards Prague. Discernable are the runic '1' collar patches, the D monograms on shoulder straps as well as camouflage ponchos and helmet covers in what seems to be platanenmuster or 'plane tree' pattern, first introduced in 1937. The officer at the front is still wearing his cross-strap as is his mounted colleague.
gerardkenny Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Nice picture ! Do you have any more ? Is it possible to get a close up of the sign ? Does it say how far from Prague ?
PKeating Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 This is the best I can do in terms of detail and blow-up. The photographer was focusing more on the men looking towards him. It looks a little like "2km". There are several other marsch snapshots with the grouping. PK
