    Great uniform photo study images

    First up is SS-Obergruppenführer (Waffen-SS General) Herbert Otto Gille and some of his commanders.
    Note Gille's unique Gothic font "Wiking" cuff title (worn by by him and recently discovered also by several staff officers,
    probably custom made in 1 batch and unofficial)
    Also of interest ; the other officer with "5" cypher on his boards (denoting one of the 5th Division Regiments or Abteilungs)
    with a regular Latin font "Wiking" CT.
    Note also another officer wearing a parka with a sleeve eagle on his M43 cap!
    Too bad the other officer with the schirmmutze got cropped out of the photo!

    This one is interesting too ; two SS officers wearing open neck tunics with different collar shapes.
    Note the sleeve diamonds; 1 is clearly a Totenkopf Raute...probably both are.
    Both men are Standartenfuhrer, one with sew-in boards, the other with slip-on boards.
    Can anybody make out what the cuff title reads?
    I believe these men are Otto Reich and Paul Nostitz and the CT reads "Brandenburg" for: SS-Totenkopfstandarte 2 Brandenburg
