Article about: Wish the picture was better but after looking through some books I'm now leaning to a Mauser Modle HSe da auto pistol. 1938 7.65mm in competing with the Walther PP. The wood grip lead me to
Oh Wow, thats pretty neat HPL! It says the Bundeswehr still uses it for training, but I guess it was bombed pretty good by allied air raids in ww2 tho. I would have never guessed the kradmeleders were just training in that photo! As usual, many thanks for the info, photo, and translation. Please know, I do try and work out the words before just asking for a translation, but I dont do very well. haha
Thanks VonBond, I have been searching for a long time to find a HJ flak crew with gun photo. I have some without the gun, but they arent as interesting. I would love to see anymore photos you might have or come across!
Thanks for looking and commenting Kristalriss! It makes it worth keep posting these photos when people enjoy them.
I like that one Alot Jerry! Nice find! Ya, I agree.....an HJ proficiency Badge, which is pretty cool to see on an Afrika Panzer troop I would have to say! haha.
Thanks HPL. Looked like a Hangar, but wasnt positive. I know the other ones arent too interesting, but for some reason I like to try and collect variations in uniforms and issued gear etc. I think those fur hats and coats look great. I dont see either for sale too often either for some reason.
In the first and third pic in post #45 it's the same coat and I assume hat being worn.
Ya definitely Adrian. Regular issued fur hats with the ear flaps. Same long wool coats in all 3 pics too. Both the coat and hat look very warm, thats for sure! I bet the guy with the sidecap wishes he had one of those fur hats!
Here is another photo with winter gear being worn. I think I have shared this one before at one point or another.
