Wow

Nice foto is an understatement.

Now that young man certainly got around and served his country, as always with these portraits I wonder if the subject survived the apocalypse ?

Looks like a standard M43 with pleats added to the pockets after issue.It would be interesting to know if the jacket is a Heer or SS cut.

Tabs could have been moved back when the wearer was promoted and added the collar tresse.



Great photo.

He survived, and gave me the photo for the book. Early and later, SS 1 tab and his GC.

Vets

I know several SS Vets. These Guys are tough. I told one of them he could not be killed and his response was, "yeah, but I could Die".

Good to know that ... thanks very much Mark.

Stunning photo, really nice!

Lots of great photos in the series for those into uniforms and headgear. As a historian, I gain from militaria related books, just as the reverse is true for history related volumes. Lots of documents also, handy for signature ID among other data, which I study related to SS.
