    Couple of photos

    Hi,
    While scanning a few WW2 Finnish photos into photbucket i thought i'd do these DDR ones as well, i don't know if they've been previously published (the first one may have.)
    Hope you like them......

    stamp on the rear of the above photo


    no date on this one unfortunatly.

    all the best,
    Rich

    Both of these photos appear to have been taken at former Sachsenhausen prison

      surprised to see the officer on the right of the first photo wear his helmet as wonky as this for a swearing in ceremony ... Cheers, Torsten.

        YOu're right Tortsen! I find that a bit odd aswell...also, I see a cufftitle on the NCO to the wonky-man's right, but can't distinguish it. Any thoughts?

          I was thinking the same thing too... perhaps he thought he was wearing it at a rakish angle. If so, apart from being decidedly unsocialist, he just ain't pulling it off. Instead of looking rakish he looks, well... wonky.

            Anybody notice lack of piping on officer's parade tunic? Maybe service tunic w/ cuff bars?

                That is often the case in black and white photographs, provided that the piping is NOT white to start off with... And it certainly isn't on the soldiers' shoulder boards. My first guess is that these are Grenzer. That shade of green just blends into the Steingrau in a black and white photograph, whereas the white always shines.

                  not just unsocialist, which is bad enough, but unmilitary and against regulations for how to wear a helmet in the army ... Cheers, Torsten.

                    I thought the same thing about his helmet, but didn't post it. He looks a bit sloppy...

                        Genossen,
                        Likely the Genosse has worn it a little loose, any drill moves could cause this "hat on the side of the head' look.... This is what I have found when giving it large.

                        That is what I was instructed to think, Genosse iannima.

                          mmmhhh ... nope, that should not really happen ... if the helmet is fitted and worn correctly it should never move like that, no matter how enthusiastically you might be parading around or no matter how energetically you might be attacking that assault course or whatever ... it should not move like that, unless you did not tighten it down or correctly or it was too big to start with ... never, ever moved like that when I wore my helmet Cheers, Torsten.

                              But yet Genosse torstenbel it has happen to the Genosse, lack of Political Perception is a terrible thing.
