    Indeed they look like Senegalais. Maybe prisonners or French troops roped into the STO (service du travail obligatoire) ...

      Here's a contribution from a new member. If anyone could translate the back, it would be appreciated

      Thanks!

        Indeed it does: This is the sleeve diamond for ex-Stahlhelm members. The symbol on it is that organization's "steel helmet" emblem. Great photo, by the way!

        As for the men in post no. 477: Those are not NSKK men, but Werkschar members.

          French?

          Uniforms on the right look like Brazilian to me. Makes it an unusual photograph

              Hered's one of mine. I thought this wartime but the writing on the back says 1928, and I don't see any TR eagles on the visors. Maybe someone can id this group. When I get home I can add a neat pre WW1 musicians group I have of portraits, holding instruments, including some cabinett photos.

                      Sorry for the late reply Larrister. Thanks for posting that and any others too.

                      I have not bought any photos in some time, but I still love seeing the ones out there.

                          Here is one that I have not posted here yet!

                          Notice the double long service medals and the riding badge!

                              Great photo. I would love to have a set of collar tabs like the ones he was wearing!

                                I have a few... They are very difficult to find. I wish I had an extra duplicate to give to you...
