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

Recent FJ Portrait with cloth FJ badge in wear.....it is IDed but I cant make out the name too well....
Mike, I missed it. Seemed like you did well though my friend! Please feel free to PM me if you plan to sell others like this or any LW ground assault badge phots/Erdkampabzeichen. Much appreciated
Here are my Luftwaffe ground troop photos, the one colorized photo was my first time ever colorizing a photo. I couldnt figure out how to get the piping looking good on the visor so I gave up lol.
Nice Ryan.....cool photos. Looks like you may have some LW HJ flak helpers in there on that 88 gun.
Mike, you got top dollar for that photo as deserved, and even better is that it is in being held in the Petz collection now, so you know it has a good home with all his other top LWFD photos. He even got that sniper photo that was on there
Stewy and HJcollector, you guys have some top notch photos.....I just took another look through the thread. Your groupings, Jager Rgt related are outstanding Stewy. Once I get back on my feet here, I hope I can acquire some groups like that

I usually wouldn't post a DC in a photos thread, but this one has a nice photo and is interesting. The Volksbund report actually gives his unit Info, IDing him as being from 15. Lw. Fd. He died in a field hospital in Pokrovskoye, but Im assuming mortally wounded from the heavy fighting around Taganrog at that time. Luftwaffen-Feld-Division 15. lost so many troops at Taganrog that the Division was disbanded.
