Mint photo album SS-Standarte Deutschland

[butschekantiques]

Hello everyone,

I hope it´s still ok to post in this section. If not, please move to the correct one.

I wanted to share some pictures of a minty album! I bought it straight from the son. He took out the very first photo. Fortunately only a family photo.

Not many photos inside but in my eyes still a cracker in my opinion!

Looking forward to your comments,

Klaus

Who on earth are the kids? in the white caps and trousers and black tunics?

That's in exceptional condition Klaus. It might not be bulging with photos but any SS collector would be pleased to own that album.

Not sure but they look like Japanese troops rather than kids to me.

Maybe not ss? The gloves look similar to the ones FB owns. Anyone know the question to this question, I am quite curious. May just be my lack of knowledge. The picture are not detailed enough for me to identify much.

When I zoom in, they look more Anglo to me. I also see no Japanese insignia nor would understand why they would be in a ss memorial album. It is possible, they were allies.

Marvelous item with images of Ludendorff's funeral in 1937 as well as what are likely Italian or some other Axis countries troops. I would think marine infantry, but I do not know Italian uniforms at all.
Thank you for the nice item. I have a uniform of a man who was likely in these images.

The loose fit white pants and the laced up leggings, as well as the cuff stripe with the loop above it look to almost certainly indicate a Naval or Marine, but from which country, I have no idea.
