ok you guys are really going to love this.

first the story

About 10 years ago a old friend of mine living in Berlin visited a local flea market. He knew I collected old color slides. He sent me an email that he found 3 old german slides showing a soldier and his girlfriend for 5 euros.

Two weeks later these 3 images came in the post........
I asked if there were any more from the flea market seller but my friend said no.. just these 3.... imagine what else this man photographed in colour......

This is the first time I have shown these 3 photos from my slide collection and I have to admit, they are some of my absolute favourites

Enjoy !

He's an NCO. SS-Oberscharführer (Sgt. 1st Class).
Also it looks like the cyphers on his shoulder boards and his cufftitle are from the 1st SS LAH.

Nice photos. I stayed there for a week in 1986 when it was the General Walker Hotel. Sadly after the US Army turned it over to the Germans it was demolished (2000). It was built rock solid and would have lasted 500 years. Beautiful building. Too bad it was destroyed only because of its history.
