The Luftwaffe guy is actually incidental to this photo (taken some time before May 1944), but I'd like to know two things:
1) He is wearing an award on his left breast which is side on to the camera and unrecognisable. After magnifying it until I went cross-eyed, I have convinced myself that I can see the upswept wing of a Luftwaffe eagle on top and a line running diagonally upwards from left to right. Does he look like someone who would have the Luftwaffe Flak Badge?
2) What's the story behind the strange buttoning arrangement on his tunic?
Just curious,
James
