Johnny Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Any ideas which units these two guys are from?I'm assuming one is SS due the the rank abbreviation Obersch. for Oberscharfuhrer. The other I'm guessing is Heer as he's an Unteroffizier.The SS unit abbreviation is a bit blurred, the Heer unit is a bit clearer.Any guesses?JohnnyThe second picture will appear below as there isn't enough space in this post!![attachmentid=32783] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Thankyou Hardy!!I feel like a complete idiot for thinking it was Oberscharfuhrer instead of Oberschutze!!Now you you've pointed out that its Infanterie regiment Grossdeutschland I can see it. The I looked like a 3 to me so I was trying to work out what 3RGD could be!Your reply has really helped me but like you I'm still flummoxed as to what the first pic says!Thanks againjohnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
