Luftwaffe and Heer photo's preview

[Danger]

Hey Guys,

Picked up these 4 photo's today. I will scan them when they arrive. Hopefully will be better quality.

2 of them look like advancing troops - No idea where it is. I hope there's writing on the backs...
Other 2 Are Luftwaffe - the snow one looks like someones in trouble? I like the ring of DD helmets.
wonder why the two in the middle are the only ones dressed for the weather?

Cheers,

Danger

First one is a Radfahrschwadronne. Looking forward to larger photos. NH

Thanks mate, could it be the tour de france 1940?
Or Tour de Russia 1941?

I think I might be into a bit of a gold mine with the guy I'm getting these from.
He's sending me a scan of others he has for sale. Prices are really good.
I'm waiting for that before he sends these.

Cheers,

Danger

Hey Guys,

The seller just sent these through.
I said i will take the lot. The prices are just too good to turn down.
Should have them all by next week.

Very nice. I could look at photos all day!

Cheers mate, me too.
I would like to get more, maybe some action shots or some with land marks or towns I could trace.
Crew photos inside/outside planes or tanks would be great. Something with unit markings.
I hope some of these have writing on the back.
I have some Navy ones that do.

A couple of them suggest Norway - possibly transport on ship through fjords. NH

Hey guys,

The photo's turned up yesterday.
I've tried to scan them and took a few photos with my phone to try and get clearer shots.
I have been offered more, and I will get them.
But, I have others from the Pacific coming and I have to just stop spending for a few weeks.

How do you guys keep your photo's? In albums or tucked away in envelopes or framed?

Some of these photos had notes on the back. I can't read any of it except for the dates.
There's a stamp in Russian on the back of the photo of the Lufft boys putting something together.

Call out what you can I.D and anything else you might want to add.

Cheers,

Danger

I would put them in acid free sheets - the type you see for baseball cards and post cards. They can be found at comic book stores or on line and they come in various sizes. You can put them in folders and examine the photos from both sides without handling them. Maybe frame something you really like but don't allow it to be exposed to sunlight. NH

The handwritten captions say:

• "Reichenbach 1940 / für Marianne! / [signed]"
• "Willi! / Letzter Urlaub 6. Aug. 1944"
• "Hippenstiehl"
