    HELP:Wunsche what rank?

    When Max Wunsche served as Hitlers orderly in 1938 does anyone know of his rank at that time?Cant make out teh board in teh picture thats what im after.iS IT OBERSTURMFUHRER??AND WHAT COLOR WOULD HIS WAFFENFARBE HAVE BEEN???

    "In October 1938 he was assigned to the Begleitkommando des Führers (a bodyguard team of SS soldiers tasked with protecting the life of Adolf Hitler), as an Orderly Officer."
    But now that Im looking at this he wouldnt have had teh lAH cypher on during teh orderly period because it states after this time he RETURNED to teh Lebstandarte,So then is this pic dated from when he was Deitrichs Adjutant?He is wering teh adjutant aguilette.So when is this pic dated?and what of his rank?am I seeing 1 pip for Obersturmfuhrer?

      He has the rank of Untersturmführer. You also see on the photos that there are no lines on the tab, only 3 stars.

      Friendly regards,

        I believe they are there you just compare the length of the tabs and you can tell.

          Looks like Obersturmführer (one pip on the board) to me.

          No real idea about the piping but I'd guess the piping was white.

              found this pic of Wunsche {or so the caption read},same aguilette as in pic one and confirms rank.If you look close there seems to be a medal there at this point probably just a sport award Id think?If its a medal looks like it could be a silver medal hence the not seeing it so well just the slightest shadow.Wish i had a list of his awards and what year awarded cant find one..

                I don't see the pip, but that could be the computer. The one I am using now is kinda old (colors aren't as clear as new screens). Anyway, ignore my answer as it is probably not right.

                Many thanks,

                    Oh at this stage he wasnt a panzer officer yet,so maybe white piping?I knoe he was in Motorcycle recon and assault gun artillery service also.
