Identify German soldiers by uniform

[jake1708]

Hello everyone,

Would it be possible to identify these 3 German soldiers into what rank and so forth they were as I am pretty new to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would help if you post your photo in the correct orientation.

Correct orientation

Hi Jake.


The soldier on the left is a member of the Luftwaffe and his rank is gefreiter. I can’t tell which branch he belonged to, but by the look of it he wasn’t flight personnel (collar tabs don’t look yellow).

This is a guess on my part, but I think that’s this could be a photo taken at a funeral. Note the black dresses that the women are wearing, along with the black arm band being worn by the Luftwaffe soldier.

The lLuftwaffe soldier has a drivers trade badge, middle look like a Heer and Police on the end.

I concur with Chris. Although the man on the far left doesn't have a Polizei sleeve eagle. Could be Heeresverwaltung with piped trousers (dark green piping down the leg).
