LW Kriegsberichter Photo

[jwburchell]

Here is one of a LW war reporter working-away with his typewriter balanced on his knees. His cuff-title has edging and there appears to be a bullion edge on his cap, so this would be a war reporter with officer status. The reverse side has lettering in pencil: "Maerz 1941 / Lionovov (sp?) Sudbulgarien".

Hope you enjoy seeing this period photo.

His cufftitle should be "...Kriegsberichter"

Hello,
It's a sonderführer (Z) of a Luftwaffe kriegsberichter kompanie. Maybe a wortberichter, someone writing for newspaper or a war correspondent just writing in report, or,a Bildberichter (photographer) about pictures or a filmberichter (movie cameraman) about rushes.
The had special type writer cold "Erika" but this one is a normal one, seems to be heavy, even in a vehicle.
I can search the number of the Propagandakompanie, I would not be so difficult for sudbulgarien in 1941.
Best regards from Paris.
