    #8 is confusing to me. The wings on their chest is straight across but it almost looks like the ones on their hats are curved?
    The fellow on the left is Heer, (Army), and the fellow on the right is Luftwaffe.

    Hi there.


    Photo 2 -

    He is a Leutnant (Lieutenant) in the Luftwaffe and is wearing what looks like Luftwaffe summer tunic.

    I may be wrong, but I’d say the writing is postwar and has spelling mistakes.

    Reinhard Cullmann
    (Uhr opa von david und pascal kopp)
    und (Opa Udo Kopp)
    1939
    (Soldart* als abwehr am Boden)
    (flak)

    Reinhard Cullmann
    (Great grandfather of david and pascal kopp)
    and (grandpa Udo Kopp)
    1939
    (Soldart as defense on the ground)
    (flak)

    *Possibly should say Soldat (Soldier)

    His name looks like Franz and his second name could be Wohgarth (but not 100% sure), his rank is Unteroffizier (Corporal). It’s hard to judge what branch of the Luftwaffe he was in, but to me his collar tabs look yellow. If this is the case, he would be either flight crew or airborne.

    Yes. sorry missed this one. It was late at night and was on my cell phone

    As Ralph said, the man on the right is Luftwaffe.

    The reason why the eagle on the cap looks curved is because the peak of the side cap is "pinched". Basically on optical illusion.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    A nice set of images. A quick search appears to confirm that neither Reinhard nor Franz were listed as casualties. For some of us the written information on the pictures is as special as the images themselves.
