Flick und Putzstunde in the Waffen SS: puzzles for the decades that lie ahead
This SS man smiles while he works with needle and thread, knowing that decades hence, in a new century, his handicraft will generate dozens of crazed posts by those here who can only poorly decipher the meaning of this image.

If he is looking in on this from Vahalla, will likely thinks that we are all very nuts.

Here is another image of some poetry with a dirty field cap for dog care worn by this Ritterkreuztraeger whose name will be known to some here.

A site that is well worth visiting.
Of note (among many other things) are Kriegsberichter Homann's photos of the Heydrich funeral, although these are well-known.
More obscure and thus even more interesting are Kriegsberichter Dürr's images of the Hungarian Ethnic German Waffen-SS volunteers and Kriegsberichter Fritsch's photographs of other Hungarian Volksdeutsche wearing the uniform of the Deutsche Mannschaft.
Oh, and the dog-loving RKT is, of course, Gerhard (Gerd) Bremer.

Thank you, colleague, you are always a great help. I must confess that I do not concentrate on Ritterkreuztraeger, being more oriented to persons in black tunics, ethnic cleansers and mass murderers and such.
I have seen these Waffen SS pictures from the National Archives for over a generation. There was an odd little book of them published here in the US in the late '60s and the '70s as contact prints and such.
In any case, I added the link for the use of those here, since, as Uniformkunde the material is compelling.
