Here's a soldier wearing his helmet.

Wow John, that photo is crystal clear! Early NCO photo, did you notice the Shoulder strap button is numbered with I think 16? Thanks for sharing!

Kurzer, you double decal helmet photo is great also!

Hi Kev,

What rank is he, an Unteroffizier? Hey 16th Regiment, that'd be Der Fuhrer's regiment.

[OSS]

The numbered shoulder strap buttons are numbered to his company not his regiment.

Kompanie number

The numbered shoulder strap buttons are numbered to his company not his regiment.

Hi that's interesting. What kompanie was he with? Why did they have their kompanie numbers on their shoulder straps?

Hi Kev,

Thanks for the rank id. Regarding his shoulder straps. You said the number referred to his regiment and someone said to his kompanie. Did they have kompanies as high as number 16?

Hello John, If you reread my post I did not say Regiment or Kompanie, only that the button is numbered..... You said Regiment in your next post, But I would agree with OSS in that they are company or unit and not regiment!

Great photo John and I am still stunned buy it's clarity!
