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!
