Photo Postschutz ?

Probably DPO wearing a Reichspost visor due to uniform shortages:

Alleged to be DPO. However, could be a post-war re-badged Reichspost visor--I would be more comfortable if made in occupied Poland (thanks, Nick):

Hi,

Excellent photographs and items on this thread!
When I started collecting in the early 1970's (as a child ) you could hardly give items such as these away!
I am pleased the collectors market has now realised the value of such memorabilia, and apparently for many other civil organisations.
To buy a photo of a TR postman would have cost literally coppers in my youth, now they sell for a good price!
Great to see an appreciation for postal items now; with I had bought them when they were so inexpensive

Very best wishes,


John.

John, thanks. As this picture shows, Reichspost items can be quite attractive:

I should add these two pictures here....

another--looks like a sci-fi movie set from the 30's:

Ps

According to Karl Wolff's testimony at the Nuremberg trial "the Postschutz was also in charge of guarding /security of Radio installations " which would explain the last picture.

Interesting wartime shot--the Postman father is not wearing the State eagle:
