Bill, are you sure #99 is HG? No white tabs or cuffs in sight. And the sign on the car looks like the second from the right on the 2nd row from the bottom on this page: http://chrito.users1.50megs.com/_dat...eesemblems.htm . Which would be Flak but not HG...

GK,
100% sure they are HG....vehicle marking is the early RGG marking that was discontinued after 1941. Many of these soldiers were Flak prior to conversion to the white collar tabs. This is evident in the invasion of France in 1940Attached Files

GK,
They are also RGG Flak prior to 1941. As you have commented they all are wearing flak collar tabs (including the motorcyclist) and not the white that you expect to see. By the way the last two pics are from a large grouping of photos that belonged to Uffz Hermann Leiberger. I have many photos of him wearing red tabs while stationed in Amsterdam, Holland and then later with white tabs. I also have a large amount of photos of him wearing tropical uniforms with HG cufftitle.

one more question: Are #s 100 and 101 just for the illustration of the marking or are they also HG? They are wearing red collar tabs...
