Than you Todd for a very detailed explanation.

Wanted to show how the Danish nazi party press service stamped their photos, since the Danish nazi party was also responsible for recruiting Danish W-SS volunteers for the front then most Danish W-SS press photos (originating from Denmark, not the front) are similary stamped on the back and also embossed with the Danish nazi press service logo.
