Re: New Photo Pick-Ups - Please Share
Thanks for sharing Ken. A few every day will keep the interest of members and also more time to enjoy them. I noticed that when i see a lot of photos posted at once some slip out of my attention.
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377

I completely agree. It will also be easier to discuss them like this, Chris. You have a lot to look forward to I also will not point out who in the photos is the original owner of the album, as this will become more and more evident as we go along.

Hehe i have ''given away'' my panzerjager owner of the albums i got recently. I didn't think of it this way.
I will get some photos and start posting the 2nd album.

Re: Photoalbum belonging to a SS-guard at Haus Wachenfeld (Berghof) who was also a post man - part 1

According to the dealer I acquired this from, this man served in Standarte 43 (he based this solely on the photos), I. Sturmbann. The "1" on the cuffband is clearly visible on photos, but personally I think the collar insignia are more likely to say "34" instead of "43". I'm not sure on this either.
The 34th Standarte was headquartered in Munich (Upper Bavaria), while the 43rd was headquartered at Glatz and later Frankenstein (yes, the place is really called that), both in Lower Silesia. If he served in Southern Germany, the 34th makes more sense.
An Arabic "1" on the cuff title would have identified his Sturm (company), not his Sturmbann (battalion).

#2: (might this somehow be Hitlerjugend and SS-related? The son of the original owner of this photo album served in the LSSAH. Might he be pictured here?
Hitlerjugend is right. (More precisely, the boys are from the Deutsches Jungvolk.) No SS personnel present.

#4: (are these post men with rifles!?)
Nr. 3 Definitely shows Postal officials. I am not 100% certain on ## 4 through 6, but they might be early Postschutz (Postal Protection) personnel.
The Postschutz was raised in 1933, which matches the time frame here, but I have no reference material on their early uniforms and insignia.

Re: New Photo Pick-Ups - Please Share
Thank you very much Andreas! I didn't even know that a Postschutz had existed. Sounds very reasonable. I will soon post part 2 of the album and I am already looking forward to hearing from you about these photos also
