Heer Any ideas?

[Johnny]

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?

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 again

Hello,

I Live in Cagny - France (80)

I am doing research on the history of the village of Cagny during WWII;

I have got a picture with the same cross + 2 soldiers from Luftwaffe (probably in 1940-1941)

Could you give me your e-mail, i will send you my picture which came from Germany.

Is-it possible to have a look on your original picture ?

Many Thanks,

Best Regards,

Nicolas BERNARD
