Interesting SS TK Photo....

[Hundestaffel]

Note the cap skull and what may possibly (?) be a (colored ?) piped collar....

Very interesting why no cvomments?

Its Herman's Hermits father! Aside from that, the collar piping is a complete mystery. Looks similar to Luftwaffe enlisted piping. And the cap, well, I guess its anything goes with late war German uniforms.

You are wrong ...its Mick Jagers fathers German cousin Schnabel Bandorsnatcher. Seriously, great photo, but due to black and white or sepia tone , the piping can't yet be discerned. Possibly Kragenspiegel, or militarverwartung?

[Ian Hulley]

The fact the collar piping (or whatever it really is) doesn't match the seemingly white shoulder straps rules out some kind of attempt at waffenfarbe to me.

Looks to me that he got a fliegerbluse, patched with SS proper insigna but leaving the colored piping of some LW branch whom the jacket own and use it as feldbluse…

Could working?

anyway this is the second guy with metal cap insignia instead of a normal stiched one
so they existed
Perhaps some new guy in the ss crew, proud of himself and got pictured before they found him a cap

Diedrick the Dimple Meister appreciates your comments....

Because of his status as an officer candidate perhaps he had the (dull?) silver piping added to the collar?
(which is more of an early SS-VT thing or otherwise a SS wrapper officer practice). Strange indeed!

[HAF]

collar piping look like in fliegerbluse .interesting
