Almost looks like a printed eagle? Anyway, people got transferred from the KM into the W-SS, and also from the LW to the W-SS, so he probably recieved a transfer when they ran out of ships. -
Another with U-Boat Badge and the same odd looking SS Sleeve Eagle...

I tried zooming in on the adler & before it got pixilated beyond recognition its either :Originally posted by Hundestaffel View Post
a: marked/scratched out to hide swastika
b: almost looks "hand touched" as in death notices, etc where they completely draw in insignia & sometimes changing branch of service. I can say almost with a doubt not a printed eagle. However this is a first EVER seeing KM to W SS transfer!
Think most common (as far as Ive seen) is LW to W SS
VERRRRRRY INTERESTING! sorry I missed those
Best, Richard

After seeing the other pic Id say the eagle is drawn/enhanced due to its poor quality. Stranger than the eagle is those ears!!!!!!!!!! couldnt very well been a FJ......to much wind flappage...LOLLast edited by RD Rygaard; 02-11-2013, 06:29 PM.Comment
