Great collection of photos. I have around the same number you have in the collection and just scored 6 more. I cant post them for now because I dont have access to where mine are posted. What I recently got were:
1) Photo of Ion Antonescu awarding medals to members of the Luftwaffe.
2) A double-exposure photo showing an Ambulance with wounded and soldiers walking past.
3) 2,-something or other CM Flak gun with 31 kill rings.
4) Another of the above but with 40 kill rings.
5) A Luftwaffe Deutsche Kreuz in Gold and RKT w/ Oaks Jagdflieger
6) I cant remember what the 6th one is at this time as its taking forever to get them in. I THINK its a picture of a General with the RK?????

Good to see you back around here Carl !!

. Thank you Darren and I must say, you do have agreat taste for picking images. I like them all, especially the Tiger and the halftracks with MGs mounted. I have none of either of those. I saw some Tiger pictures for sale on RIcks site and he wants $300 per???

And sadly no pics in the mail today?

I forgot o mention--thank you for the nice compliments. Im not normally into collecting anythinG LW--but--I liked these and im starting to get more and more into collecting photos of those that can be identified and easily researched. A friend of mine already IDed the LW Jagdflieger RK w/ Oaks guy--but I dont have access to the info because I can no longer get on the site its posted on--not sure why? Imm hoping those Flak guns with kill rings--im HOPIng there is info on the backs. The seller rarely posts if a photo has info or not? unless its a high-dollar photo.

Nice tiger and I like the artillery on the bridge that must have been a scary feet crossing it with that much weight...

[darrenj40]

Hi, yes everytime i look at this picture, i always think of the driver, just driving onto this bridge, 3t SdKfz 11 + a 5t 150mm gun,,,
you got to take your hat off to the German engineers....this looks like a very large river crossing..i have about 20 river crossing photos as i like them, and this is the biggest span...could be the Crossing of the Dnieper river in the Kremenchug Area(Russia)...we will never know>>>

Nice picture of some oil wells...Romanian oil fields???


Note the picture of the German smoking, i have a lot more pictures of him from an Artillery unit mostly SIG 150mms..(maybe he is thinking im F_ _ked)

Top right only 2 photos of SS i have...not great quality..
