Von Thronstahl Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Except MG and Bergfuhrer insignia I have never seen anything else worn on the sleeve. It looks like an anchor plus something else. Anybody saw something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hello Von Tronstahl , I think that the men in the pic are members of some of the paramilitary forces of the Austrian republic .Heimwehr .their collar patches are not Army shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Thronstahl Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hello Bayern. Thank you for your help. Photo is part of the photo lot I got from Czech republic. So, I presume they are not Heimwehr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think that to identify the badge and uniforms, we should refer to early Czechoslowakia, or even Poland, from the early 20s. I cannot imagine that badge being an imperial AH one. Best, E.L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hello Von Thronstahl. That make sense , the shape of the collar patches is those of the French organized Legion Tchecoslovaque.certainl y the uniforms looks like AH but the man in the centre wears what appears to be a French vareuse bleu horizon ,the badge is rare the czechs used an oval one in dark blue cloth with the capitals C S in silver. the badge showed appears as a polish eagle over a pointed cloth shield .

Von Thronstahl Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 I think it might be this one. The one under Croatian legion badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Von Thronstahl , The winged badge is Croatian of the Utascha ,the others are Czech , the one next to the croatian badge and the one below these are collar badges ,the rectangular badge is some sort of patriotic one .the only that appears as arm badge is the apparently sappers badge braided on cloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too lazy to crop the photo. And there is no Ustasha badge onthe photo. Only Croatian legion of the Luftwaffe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"U" was part of Croatian coat of arms. But not all of them are Ustasha badges. Almost all medals and orders carrie the "U". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
