Generalfeldmarschall Shoulder Boards

[Von Spee]

Does anyone have good quality, high resolution colour photographs of GFM shoulderboards, either individually or being worn on a uniform tunic? - or can you suggest a source for such colour photography?

A couple of forum members have posted pictures of GFM boards they have in their collections. Do a search of the forum and you'll be able to find them.

There is a website called www.themarshalsbaton.com that has a historical reference section on high ranking insignias of WW2 and there are some German GFM insignias. The photos are pretty good. You go through the obligatory disclaimers and when you hit the main page there on the lower left is a hyperlink called Field Marshall Militaria and that is where you'll find the images.

Cheers, Bill

Bill:

Good to see you on the boards and some great photos on the site you provided the link to. BTW, who owns and runs that site?

Thanks,

Drew
