    Possible Labor Service Photos

    Hello Gents,

    These photos would seem to depict individuals serving with the Labor Service in West Germany in the early 1950s. Thoughts?

    Thanks,
    TJ

    TJ,

    Interesting photos. The insignia on the helmets is a new on me. Nico should be able to make some good comments on these pictures.

    Regards,

    Gordon

      Helmet insignia looks like the "Allgemeines Abzeichen" (General insignia) of the Labor Service Units (LSU), later: Civilian Service Units (CSU).

        Yes; as said above, definitely LSU/CSU.

        Here's a very informative site on that subject, especially when it comes to uniforms and insignia (German language):

        Another example for such helmets in wear can be seen here (12th picture down):
