The images are very small. Can you make larger scans of the photos and post them individually? It looks like you have a great set there.

Here is the detail of the badges.

The lower badge could be a telephone operator's trade insignia and they appear to be Luftwaffe female auxiliaries,( Helferin ).

A similar badge was worn by female auxiliaries of the Kriegsmarine,shown here.

Cheers,Martin.

I'm intrigued by the right hand lady adjusting the soldiers clothing, I wonder what she was giving for the Fatherland?

RADwJ Hanover?

Guys,

Yes Hannover makes sense since I am local but I did not understand the relationship between the RAD and the Luftwaffe since it is the same young ladies in the LW caps?

Paul, she never gave enough as they still came second!
