SS'fliegerstürme collar tab- for opinion.

[Regen]

If genuine the patches are most likely SA.

mr.d'alquen,
Many thanks for your opinion!
Are absolutely right- these tabs belong to SA but not SS.
of course
Best Regards, Re.

A common habit these days: "stealing" from the Internet or whatever.
It happens all the time. No person these days asks permission or
thinks about copyright (as this still exists).

There is no need to remove the photo, but a proper credit to mr.
Klaus D. Patzwall would have been great!

I'm afraid that i'm guilty of stealing from the internet on the grounds that i can never seem to find the same thing twice. On that note and i dont know if the attached photo has any relevance to the subject of the cords but can someone explain this one to me.

An SS-Mann of the LSSAH wearing collar patches with black-and-aluminum piping and early-model shoulder boards (with the large "LAH" cypher and white piping) on an army-model field blouse with dark green collar.

The black-and-aluminum collar- and collar patch piping for enlisted ranks/NCOs were officially discontinued for field grey uniforms in August 1940, but were already often omitted before that date.

(He is a war correspondent photographed during the Western Campaign of 1940. The photo appears in the 1941 book Waffen-SS im Westen. Ein Bericht in Bildern by Friedrich Zschaeckel.)

Thanks, Robert H.
People nick from all over and at any time, above all from
websites and eBay. Without scruples. Occasionally even
removing the watermark and then "claiming" the photo
is theirs property! Adorn with borrowed plumes!

I am not pleased at all with this behaviour. A disgraceful
affair! And we all know photographs do costs these days
a lot of money! Twenty-thirty years ago the prices for
photos were quite low. Just a few bucks; these days a
great photo will cost quickly 50-70 euro and when it is
something special one hundred or more. For my eagle-
book I paid for one photo 250,- euro. But, I needed it
and wanted to show this photo........
