New book out:
FÜR VOLK AND FUHRER:
The Memoir of a Veteran of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler
Some nice late 43 and 45 photos showing to SS Lah men wearing tunics with...the horror of horrors..THREE support ramp holes....and these are on I believe M36 and M40 tunics, due to the rank change and dates noted, its obvious this was done, and not just on foreign volunteer tunics..thought might be of interest to some. Merry Christmas
See back cover of book....photo attributed to March 45.
and the 13th page of photos (looks like he's wearing the same tunic--look at silver collar tresse and button ribbons-- attributed to 43)
He could have been wearing the same 1941 tunic but upgraded, but it looks like in 43 he was promoted and not likely he wore the same tunic from 1941 until March of 45. Also, the man on the back page right (this picture is also inside the book) is wearing an M40 LAH also with 3 hole support ramp, he's also wearing a signals "blitz" diamond.. pretty cool.
