Chris,
Nice collection. Perhaps the forum could have a chaplain section!!! I paid through paypal two weeks ago to post pictures (of my Heer and Kreigsmarine Chaplains uniforms and US Chaplain uniforms and communion kits) and I've yet to be allowed to post any pics despite several emails with no reply back .

I have never seen anything like your collection. It is truely amazing. I wish I had the dicipline to have such a focused collection. I have a tendancy to grab everything I see!!!

Thank you for sharing this with us!!

Small (compared to some) but really fun.

Uh-huh. And who exactly would you be comparing it to when you say "small"? A collection of few, but incredibly rare items such as yours, is far more interesting than a collection of 100 common uniforms and matching caps. Volume means little compared to quality and rarity and think you have done this exceptionally well. Well done Chris. Tony http://www.kaisersbunker.com/

The set is to Father Schmidt, Division Chaplain to the 299th ID. In includes two photo albums, Russian front/KVK I/II award docs, uniform, visor, and crusher.

Hi Chris
Were the KVK's with or without swords?
I am curious to see what would have been awarded to a Preist, who would be considered a non combatant.

Thanks for your help

hi chris, thanks for sharing your fantastic collection with us... to echo bill dienna, these are the FIRST chaplain uniforms i have seen. it's fantastic that you have these from this man, and congrats to you and those that helped you acquire them.

[Debra James]

very very nice, this is the first chaplin uniform I have ever seen, and to be honest I have never really thought about it before as I dont collect unoforms, but this thread was fantastic. Excellent job, well done
