Re: Interesting SS Picture
Love that Swastika buckle Ben
In another book of Robin's the photo is dated as 1925 , i wonder where those strange caps with the massive eagles are now !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Re: Interesting SS Picture
Nick, I have always thought these as sympathizers or supporters buckles, have a look at this thread on these buckles that David did, he knows more about these than me, I just find it interesting to find a early picture of SS members wearing this buckle, goes very nicely with my study at the moment
Early supporters full face swastika buckles

Ben
There are a few period images of the full face swastika buckle in wear, although the one that you have shown is really my favourite.
I was always under the impression that the little chap on the viewers right (clearly wearing the buckle in question), is none other than Josef "Sepp" Dietrich.
Regards,
David

Re: Interesting SS Picture
Wow David, that is great, I would not have said that was Sepp Dietrich, must be a early photo then

Re: Interesting SS Picture
Great pic! The headgear is something too that I've never seen before! Must be early for sure. That does look like Sepp doesn't it!
Thanks for posting it!
