Very well could be Dean. cool
Here is a man from Grenadier Regiment 41 (probably Motorised). Note the bronze Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in wear. Not too commonly seen in photos suprisingly.
Beautiful photos.
Thanks,Kevin and HPL2008! Bill, I am almost positive the Luftwaffe parade scenes ARE from the same event as the shot that first started this entire thread you posted as I mentioned a few posts back. Just look at the trees, the street, the same shade and weather of the time that day. The pics size seems same too. That would be cool...what are the odds? But then again , us ww2 German photo collector nerds are a selected few so I guess we have cornered the market!
Here's a nice colorized shot of a Pz. Man for you all to gander.
Thanks,
Dean.
Almost forgot to show you guys this dude with the infamous Gross Deutschland cuff title.

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

Dean, good eye man, youre right. I cant find the actual photo I have of this parade....I looked for it the other day. Must be in an album I have in storage for now. Woulda sent u the pic, but we're clearing alot of our belongings out of this house readying for a future move, so my things are a bit of a mess right now. Cool when you come across pics in peoples collections of the same event, but sometimes that means someone ruined a complete album unfortunately! Talk about ruined albums, I saw a beautiful and rare Schwere Pz Abt 505 album on ebay they other day that came from a Vets estate that was chopped and split up. Makes you mad to see that stuff
