I don't know why he is wearing Army uniform parts, may be because LW tropical ones was not available at the time???? but he is definitivly a LW guy . I have other pics of him in the very same uniform with all his badges.

Jacques, thanks for the info. I was never doubting you, I guess emails without real words can sound misunderstood.
Thanks for your reply. I was just very curious and intrigued indeed.

Could you post one or two other pics of him wearing his badges? Cheers, Torsten.

Thanks Jens

Walter Fromm died a few years ago. He was friends with a good friend of mine. In this photo, taken by Rommel's photographer, Herr Fromm is indeed wearing full Heer tropical uniform with added Luftwaffe rank. This was common to the early Flak Battalions serving in the DAK.

Would you mind telling us who's album this photo is from?
Regards,
John

Sorry to deviate a little, but while we are on the topic of Afrika KC holders, does anyone have the signature of Generalleutant NEUFFER, commander of 20th FLAK DIVISION in Tunisia, who was a KC holder ?
