Here is another similar foto (SS-Sturmmann und Unterführeranwärter / SS-Polizei-Division):
Both soldiers maybe Feldgendarmerie members IMHO...

Hi Brady,

I think SS-Feldgendarmerie.
Your picture was already posted here of ebay few years back...may you tell me where it came from?
Any note on the back?

May I have a close up of the edelweiss on the cap?

Thanks

My theory (just a theory) is that these police sleeve eagles were worn as an interim measure pending the manufacture of the police eagle sleeve diamond......................to show that the wearer was a qualified former policeman.

The possibility exists. Is not however anywhere descriptive in book.

Thanks!
I would love to understand which division this fella belonged to...

Here the old thread about this picture:

I remember that when sold off ebay there where other 2 pictures togheter with it, depicting this very same man along with 2 other WSS fellas...anybody saved them?

The location seemed to be central europe...any suggestion?

Thanks
