Thanks HPL, I misidentified the bergmutze for sure! The guy with the TDB really looked like he had a Bergmutze on to me, but I see now they are M43s. But I did know that M36 tunics have dark green collars, but it seemed like every pic I see of GJ, they are wearing M36s. lol. But thanks for helping me out. Ive had that photo for a while and it was labeled GJ when purchased, so I always had it in the GJ section of my albums until I realized it last night that they werent. I also never realized the TDB until last night either!! Thanks again for setting me straight
Chris, awesome pics. I really like the Photo with the soldats with Helmet bands and gasmask cannisters that are sitting on the truck. Chris, my only guess on the different numbers of shoulderboards is that it was a different unit/regiment that was stationed with the 34th at the time.??
That was interesting about the "Sound Ranging batterie". I have only ever heard these types of things when talking about Flak and Artillery units before. And thanks for the correcting my naming of "schallmessbatterie"! Good to know that it was part of the 34 IR too. So these Beob. Abt. are permanent components of the IR just like similar detatchments.
Chris, check this out. I could be wrong, but the number on the Shoulderboard of the other soldier looks to be "70". According to Lexicon Der Wehrmacht, the 34th ID was grouped with Artillerie Regiment 70 throughout alot of there actions.

No, it is a "70". The embroidered "7" on shoulderboards really did look a lot like an upside down "2"; look at some of the examples here: Uniforms of the Wehrmacht
A line up for lunch and a nice landscape
Thanks Andreas. So this guy had changed units over time?
Anyone knows what is this building?
