Hi all...
I work at a non-profit thrift shop in my hometown and about 6 months ago someone donated a metal box full of photo negatives. I'm big into genealogy and WWII history in my spare time so obviously, I was stoked. There were only four real pictures in the bunch and from those I was able to identify the serviceman as a Aviation Ordnanceman, 3rd Class. I had initially hoped to track down his name and family and return the 300+ negatives but have had no luck so we've resulted to selling them piece by piece, while i research each one.
Anyway, I thought this board might be able to answer a few questions about the pictures. Any help would be appreciated.
First, there is a grouping of about 10 pictures that show what looks to be a propaganda film being shot. Notice the plane with the shoddy swastika drawn on the wing? Any thoughts on what might be going on here?
This is our soldier -- he's responsible for all the photos in this box. Any thoughts on his medals?
And what of these boys? Why would they be wearing patriarchial crosses? I initially thought the one with France written on his uniform might have been with the FFF but that really doesn't compute...
