Jock Auld Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Guys, The bottom picture shows the girl in the middle wearing some sort of trade badge with the blitz's and a RAD sleave patch, whats that all about? They are also wearing Luftwaffe caps? Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Here is the detail of the badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited July 22, 2014 by Martin W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm intrigued by the right hand lady adjusting the soldiers clothing, I wonder what she was giving for the Fatherland? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURGERHAUS Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 RADwJ Hanover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Auld Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 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! Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
