1st SS LAH with WWI U-Boat badge and question

[schmidtkevin]

I bought an album of a 1st SS LAH man, I know his name, and I bought it basically for these two photos. The album itself is plain and missing some photos. There are two original photos of Hitler. Most of the photos appear to be from around 1934 although there are some later photos from 1940 in Belgium. Most of them are labeled very well on the back. There really are some amazing photos in this album and I'm wondering if I should remove them and preserve them better. I'm not so much worried about value. If I do choose to remove them, does anyone have thoughts on how best to remove them. These two photos were very easy to remove to scan.

You might want to watermark these photos

Very nice indeed! Interesting to see the sub badge on a SS man. I know there were plenty of ex- navy in the SS but this is nice.

It's good to keep them in the album as it is keeping the lot together but it's your choice.

Yes, protect your photos!

(BTW, the Daniel craig look-a-like sitting next to the driver in the second photo could go in another thread).

I would certainly keep them all together as a grouping, but I'm not sure the album adds a whole lot to the photos. There is a nice original of the Bluhtfahne as well and some great photos from Nuremberg. There's also an original of Himmler but it's tiny, the size of a postage stamp.
