Studio Portrait "Regiment Deutschland" Waffen-SS

[Reibert]

Hello,
would like to show you a studio portrait of a "Rottenfuhrer" of the Waffen-SS.

The soldier was a member of the SS Aufkl.-Abt. 4.Kp. of the SS-V.-Division, (Rgt. "Deutschland"), later: Division "Das Reich".

This soldier was my ex-wife's grandfather and said that this studio portrait should have served as the basis for a painting.

Here is a completed portrait of a Waffen-SS soldier, which doesn't show the grandfather, but probably hangs in the West Point Military Academy today.

Best regards,
R.

I also find the camouflage scheme of the camouflage cover of the helmet interesting.

The white stripe painted on the sleeve of the camouflage jacket (camouflage shirt) also has a very specific meaning, but unfortunately I can't remember it anymore...
