Older Luftwaffe men w Kradmelder (probly late call-ups)- they look to be flak members
Army soldats with MP40 on ground. What are these Armbands?? They look to be white, but are they just the yellow Deutsche Wehrmacht bands??

Here is my favorite of the bunch:
Luftwaffe Feld-Division man with Krim Sheild, Luft Ground Assault Badge, and Ek2. Looks to have a trade patch too. (can anyone tell what one?)
The Army man on the left wears the Frozen meat ribbon and the other has the EK2, GAB, and wound badge
(if anyone has any LWFD photos willing to trade or sell, please PM me)
Here is the Maxim MG08 Ade! haha
I like how the crew is pointing right at the cameraman! The crew is using the sledge-mount for the MG and You can see how the MG is water-cooled (see line and box on ground next to it)
some cool PAK photos
I have a few more new ones, but I will post em later
Panzer, do you ever run out? LOL.. I think your pics keep getting better and better! I don't know much about badges or patches, so I can't help you out.
No kidding! Bill, you rule! And you "out-MG'd me" ! Ha! I thought the KIA I posted was totally a German. Ade said he's a Russian though! Thanks Ade, by the way.

Pwny, I look forward to the mail all week long! haha I definitely have an addiction. Im lucky I havent been KIA by my fiance yet!
And if that is seriously a berg-fuhrer badge, then it is a rare badge to be seen in a photo. I wish we could get a close-up of it. My guess is that it could either be a Polizei Berg-Fuhrer badge or a BergWacht Hilfspolizei badge.......but who knows, I really hope someone else chimes in on that one cuz I could be way off base. The man is obviously an Army man but could have served in the polizei if it is either of the badges Im guessing. (I will post a Berg Badge, so you can compare it to the pic) I hope it was ok to re-post ur pic too..?
Dean, I dunno....your Maxim MG photo is sweet too. I did not notice the KIA was a Russian either....that was def a good eye on Ades part.

I am very interested in opinions on that photo of yours GDPWNY. But here are some more pics while we are waiting for some input from other members.
SA mann wearing the Braunschwig Treffen Badge
Luftwaffe men wearing Pilot Observer badges
Haha, Im glad Im not the only one who looks forward to the mail then! Yes, I am just surprised to see that type of badge on that photo! I have rarely seen this badge in wear, and certainly do not have a photo of one in wear in my collection!
And I agree, that looks like a woman to me too. I have a feeling she is wearing her mans uniform. If it were a womans luftwaffe uniform, I would say she was a Helferin, but this is not the case here. I have seen this in many wartime photos, I think it was a kinda "dress-up" for a photo type thing.....especially since the army uniform she is wearing has a Infanterie Sturmabzeichen and wound badge on it! cool photo
