Ill have to buy the book sooner or later, since Ive heard it is a great reference too.

Absolutely, it's one of those must-have standard references and highly recommended. (I have the German one-volume edition)

I have one more question HPL, would he wear the "Jagd Richthofen" cuffband on other tunics/bluses as well?? or was it only worn on specific occasions or during a certain period of time?

Judging from period photographs, Göring wore it on most, but not all of his blue-grey Luftwaffe tunics and blouses. He stopped using it when he began to wear his unique, light-dove-grey Reichsmarschall uniforms.

Ok good to know. Yes, he was certainly a character and didnt mind standing out among the crowd in those flashy uniforms of his. I guess that could be why I didnt see too many photos of him wearing that cuff title, since most images I see of him he is wearing the later colorful uniforms

I thought this was a cool photo.....I believe it shows an Army General saluting Luftwaffe troops. I could be wrong, but is he a General? I know the pic of him isnt that clear but....

Yes, he is a General Officer. Look closely at what is visible of his collar patch and at the stripes (Lampassen) on his breeches.

Thanks HPL. I figured he would be a General seeing his stripes, and also noticing that he is the one saluting and is the "main attraction" haha. His cap looks slightly more peaked. I cant really see the collar tabs too well, so I wasnt sure. I also noticed that the troops seem to be wearing early steel helmets (M16's?) too. Do you think this would just be your average inspection of the troops type deal?

**Bill T** · 11-06-2010, 05:33 PM

few more. I think the guys in the black uniforms are DAF, but I very well could be wrong. it was titled as Reichspost men when I bought it, which clearly they are not IMO. Im sure HPL can enlighten me if he sees these guys.
And yes, thats a chick with the bayonet laying in the grass
