Question for everyone. I collect items relating to PoWs in Canada and I have a photo of a mixed group, including what I believe to be a member of the SS. However, rather than having the typical SS and rank collars, he appears to have a Totenkopf on each collar.
I know that the Totenkopf division had the deaths head on one collar but I cannot find any reference to wearing one on both collars. The individual's uniform appears to have black collars and epaulettes and has the SS eagle on the left arm. The picture he is in was taken before mid-1942 so he was likely captured in North Africa or continental Europe.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
