FJ Officer with odd pin on M41 trop hat.

[Edgar Alcidi]

yes, indeed a very interesting one (even if I dind´t saw all the pictures inside, inclusive those with the TKs)...beside the price
...a ridiculous one (when it was offered to me anyway)

Olt. Wagner was a brave officer that leaded an assault company in the fights for Deir el Munassib.

On our next update we will be offering a photo album of a FJ officer who served in 7./Fallschirm Sturm Pionier Komp (Kampfgruppe Burckhardt) in Africa. There are many photos of this unit wearing SS TK's on their caps while in El Alamein prior to their capture. It appears it was an insignia of this unit but up to what level, it is not clear. Very interesting images, very eye-opening when I first saw them!

P.S. The Komp Cdr. was Helmut WAGNER (RK Winner - Kreta) who was also a pilot and can be seen in the album wearing pilot's badge, RK and no FJ badge...the photo looks kind of like him...he was KIA on June 7, 1944 in Normandy

I wonder if they found it amusing that a non jump qualified officer was marching them especially if he was a pilot .

Did not understand your point when you posted this Shaun. Many pilots became Fj as the Luftwaffe lost planes. I knew a few personally, all good soldiers, and as officers, good leaders.

No worries John ! many of my mates are pilots !! so I was just having a friendly dig at them ! The joke was that they could never drop us in the correct spot !
We both wear wings so it customary for us to give each other a hard time !

Great photo albums for sale.
Perhaps the mystery of Totenkopf cap insignia is solved now!?

I am surprised? that there is no comment on the album!
both names and what fallschirmjäger group who used the Totenkopf cap insignia.
I wish I had money to buy the album.

Best Jack.
