Indian Legion Insignia

[Panzermahn]

This exact set of insignia was also depicted in an Osprey book on Foreign volunteers! WOW!
Here's a much better picture of that SS officer attached to Freies Indien! Thanks for allowing it to be posted Chris Ailsby!

This SS Ostuf is Rolf Schackert, from the Stabskompanie of the Freis Indien Legion. So far this picture is the only known picture of a German Waffen SS officer with the Indien Legion arm shield.

I find the topic of the Freis Indien Legion very fascinating and really enjoy all the images you guys have shown.

I also saw a picture of an Indian legionnaire wearing a Bergmuetze (with SS eagle) posted in the web as well as an Sikh officer (probably Leutnant) with two Croatian officers of the Heer.

Unfortunately, I am unable to post the photos

Panzermahn, send it to me, I will post it.

Looks like Schackert tab on the picture was blackened, a common thing after the war.

Post this on behalf of Panzermahnn.

Looks like the SS adler was removed?

[Panzermahn]

Just to clarify that I found these photos in the web but unfortunately I can't remember where I found it

I only remember that it was from a Russian website

Would it have been the english/russian site with German fail? or something similar?...

is this a, Azad Hind Collar tab? Real or fake or made in theater?

Anyone have any thoughts on this? its much thicker than a typical collar tab and feels/looks old. All I come up with is Azad Hind SS Indian Volunteer
