Verry nice!

Echt heel mooi! Ga zo door, binnenkort krijg ik een partij SS foto's van een persoon. Als je belang hebt kan ik je even een foto'tje mailen?

Well I must say that I really enjoy this collection! Somehow I am very impressed by those who collect items only connected to a certain individual (like the member who collects T. Wisch items) or a certain unit. I tend to like these collections more than those who just collect SS in general!

Thanks, Lasse! Look what I found on a photograph (KB bild) from the Bundesarchiv. The same young soldier I found on a photograph in my private archive!
Hoping to identify the second soldier but don't have confirmation yet:

6. Kompanie/ SS-Panzer-Regiment 12

It is, best part is I was trying to ID the other soldier (cut out of the photograph seen above, with website marking) until I recognized that the soldier in the turret of the Panzer (who is seen on the photograph with my website marking) was also photographed (Image source: Bildarchiv Bundesarchiv, taken by a Kriegsberichter) standing before another Mark IV eating (his Essgeschir is also seen on the photograph with him - while he is eating -).

Some new things. Including 2x Urkunde and the medals of a Soldier from the 2./ SS-Flak-Abt 12 "HJ". Here a nice Urkunde signed by Hugo Kraas on the day of his promotion to SS-Oberführer.

Last letter written by a Soldier (I recieved this from his brother) of the 10. Kp./ Pz.Gren.Rgt. 25. Missing in the Ardennes. Most probably buried in Recogne-Bastogne under the unknown.
