I posted a similar question in another forum reference this group I recently obtained from the family of an 84th DIV vet. Is there any possibility of identifying an individual based on the following known photographic info:
awards
Golden Party Badge
SA Sports Badge
An undated photo with a partially defaced/censored inscription on the back. He appears in SS uniform with a Totenkopf collar patch. He wears the early side cap with the skull button. 35 pattern if I am not mistaken. Rank is SS-Schutze, but he has the little silver slip on litzen on his boards which I believe is volunteer officer candidate. It is the very narrow type. He wears the Golden Party Badge and an undtermined 2 place ribbon bar. Inscription, which is drving me nuts trying to figure out has rank last name and field post number, but partially scratched out!!!! I can make out "sudfrankreich" and the field post number "appears" to be 38851C. The 3 and C are definites. Maybe something close to the other numbers would help. Definitely a Totenkopf collar patch.
Photos of the dead, cemeteries, and shrouded bodies in the Warsaw Ghetto. All inscriptions partially defaced, but I can read certain words and "Warschau 1942"
Photos of NSKK attended funeral with the same previously SS uniformed man in NSKK uniform wearing the Golden Party Badge, SA Sports Badge, NSKK drivers badge. His rank I believe is Staffelfuhrer. It is exactly like SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer, minus the silver piping. Boards are piped in black. Black unit collar patch has a T and an undetermined number or device. Banners on the funeral wreaths read in part "Warchau." Looks like it was done on site as there are shovels lying about.
Photos of service in Russia with the NSKK 1941-1942
I've got most of the badges insignia and boards from these unforms in this group. The family is looking for the Gold Party Badge for me.
Any lists of GPB recipients in the SS/NSKK out there that might help me ID this guy??????
Thanks,
steve
