Some Latvians

[Lee Luke]

Very neat id's.

[mr.dogtag]

Right. There were many Poles living in St.Petersburg before WWI. There were also many Poles in Latvia, especially in Riga and Latgalia region.
I guess these guys have no shoulderboards because they are ex-POWs with a Hilfswillige status.

Old thread and unfortunately some of the images have been lost, however still some useful info in it ...

I just picked this up and interestingly he also ended up with a Fallschirm unit. The FP Nr. is written to page 1:

61786 - 3 Kompanie, Fallschirm-Nachschub-Bataillon 21

[Ian Jewison]

Exactly Jeff,

Thought I'd get myself an example.......interestingly he has the same surname as a once wanted war criminal and was born in the same place!

Perhaps it is a common surname:

Konrad Kalejs
