Re: What do you make of this?
It looks like a German trench he is in.....Luftwaffe feild division maybe

Re: What do you make of this?
Many thanks for your quick response!
Herman Goring, perhaps? Any idea why he's missing badges and collar tabs? Not familiar with the field divisions, but assume they follow similar dress regs as other arms of the Luftwaffe?
The forage cap seems to be piped quite noticeably - the HG Div had white piping didn't they?
Cheers

Re: What do you make of this?
Yeh I believe they did have white piping.....looking at it again, the bloke is unarmed.....maybe a training exercise, I mean he looks very calm, almost posed in front of a command bunker or similar....the training scenario could explain lack of insignia....maybe they hadn't been fitted out properly yet?.....before we went to Iraq in 2005, we got a partial uniform issue with no insignia of our desert clobber at the beginning of the training period and the rest got issued just before we deployed.....in m opinion, this is what it looks like, maybe a Ersatz unit had been formed, training in Germany and still awaiting thrir full issue

Re: What do you make of this?
I am certain he is from one of the Luftwaffe Feld divs.
Lack of colar tabs: very dark looking waffenfarbe (would be dark green).
If he were "HG" he would wear the cuff title.
Cheers, Ade.
