    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

    Hi Paul, they are DLV, Deutscher Luftsportverband.. Set up in order to train men in flying etc in March 1933 before the Luftwaffe officially came into being. Disbanded and merged into the NSFK in 1937.

    Their uniforms formed the basis of those used by the Luftwaffe. Note how similar they are, cap cockade, greatcoat, collar tabs, etc.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Hi Paul, yes, the small eagle has a distinct poltical look to it. The one on the sleeve is worn on a circular backing.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Great image of the DLV uniform for other ranks. One must wonder if these young men ended up being Luftwaffe pilots.
