I came across this image that I had stored in my files. I wish I had the original ! Sorry for the poor resolution and sorry if this one is a little out of place for this thread. I figured he might be Para...hard to make out some of the awards. Can any one identify him? WHERE'S THAT UNIFORM??? I wonder what happened to it...

Chuck,


Picture is pretty dark and hard to make out what color his collar tabs are...para, LWFD or Flak? He definitely has three Tank destruction strips, a LWGAB, EK1 and a wound badge but I cannot make out the other badge. It could be a para badge but I cannot see it clearly. Nice pic and too bad it isn't an original photo in your collection. Bill

Thanks Bill for the help . I was able to read the "Easter 1944" and "Fontainbleau" but could not make out the rest.
