This is a very rare photo of French RKT Henri Fenet in 1987, from the book: "French Volunteers of the Waffen-SS", by author Richard W. Landwehr.

Great photos. What cuff title is being worn by the airman in post #2140 above?

The airman is a pilot or WSO Oberleutnant and wears the cuff title of one of the tradition named wings, in all probability that of JaboG 31 "Boelcke", as Obleser was the CO of the wing from 1963 to 1966.

Sepp,

The Luftwaffe man in #2147 is wearing an Anti-Partizan badge rather than a Panzer Assault Badge I believe. A more rare combination for an airman.

Yes of course, what a silly mistake by my part!

I put PAB instead of APB..

Thanks for the correction!

It makes you wonder what he was in the middle of. I would say transferred from frontline where he won the EKs to behind the lines/ anti-partisan work where he won the the APB and perhaps the KvKI. His service history would explain it.

Yes, I share your analysis.. it seems the logical situation for this soldier.
