This is a well known picture (movie clip) of a wounded Maria Theresia SS Division officer (German mixed VolksDeutsche-Hungarian SS Cavalry Div). Note flower collar tab.

Picture
Here's a picture that I discovered on the web of "German troops in the Budapest kessel".
I got excited because of the the soldier in the middle.
It appears to be another RARE example of the "Maria Theresia" Div collar tab in wear!!! Worn here by an NCO !!!
Thought this would be cool to share here!Comment

Anton
Anton A. looks nothing like Jacob Cohen. Anton has bags under his eyes from extended combat stress, not from hanging out in Vegas and smoking to much Pot.Comment

Yes he sure looks Tartarn...that would make the image even rarer if it was that tab... but based on the location (Budapest battle) its for sure Maria Theresia!Originally posted by billbert View PostI think Nick G first fotos looks like the sodat has Asian features and I believe its that the tartars SS collar insignia with looks like a big circular fire bellows with a sword? stuck thru it...Billbert
Just a blurry picture making him appear asiatic looking...the other soldiers (non NCOs) look Deutsch-Volks Deutsch, which they are all!Comment
