    I am positive that its Org Todt security detail. The tunic is Org Todt type...
    (almost like a LW fliegerblouse but with exposed buttons) and their security detail wore such black shoulder straps (SS style)

    Neat variant Danish Nationality shield and political cap eagle added on top of BeVo SS eagle!
    Photo taken in Italy? (where OT was very active building fortifications...)

    Reminds me of this guy...(from Beaver's SS book).
    Note also SS cap insignia being worn...another OT member...incorrectly identified in Beaver's book as Waffen SS...
    Exact same OT uniform! Typical hodge-podge of uniform parts (WH buckle and WH breast eagle added) for this Para military organization (OT Schutz Commando),
    which btw had a lot of foreigners in it and explains the Danish shield!

    These armed OT members would protect job sites and were the only Org Todt members entitled to wear black (SS style) white piped shoulderstraps.
    Because some job site were possibly SS controlled installations, these guys would pick up SS skulls or SS caps even...but they are definitely not Waffen SS!

      Here is their OT shoulderstrap (note black top with brown OT inside...(= Org Todt SchutzKommando)
      Looks like Waffen SS! Fools many...

        Period image of heavily armed OT with black shoulderstraps!


        Basically a standard OT uniform with added SchutzKommando (armed OT) insignia for a Danish Volunteer
