Gentlemen,
Since the DRK thread has just about run its course, it is time to look at some of the other humanitarian aid organizations in Germany. The other two that I would like to look at are the Malteser Hilfsdienst and the Johanniter. First though, we will look at the Malteser Hilfsdienst e. V. The following text is from wiki. I'll post pictures of my uniforms from the Malteser Hilfsdienst tomorrow.
Regards,
Gordon
