ashley Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi, The "officer" standing by his BMW car is in fact an NCO, a Feldwebel (Company Sergeant major), the badge is an SA Military Sports Badge, which indicates that before being in the Heers (Army) he was in the SA-Sturmabteilung (Brownshirts) Paul H is also wearing the M36 tunic with the dark green collar and epaulets {sp?} He is also wearing what is known as a crusher cap [schirmutz aller art] (old style)favored by many of the old school military men, and also by younger officers who would remove the spring from the peak of their peaked hats to give them the softer (floppy) look but were also easier to stuff into a pocket or opening of a jacket if the need arose.

schliesser92 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Re: the odd uniforms: The answer is quite simple - it was carnival time (German "Fastnacht") . A lot of these carnival organisations wear military uniforms from the Napoleonic era. Alternatively, a display of traditional uniforms worn by these regiments at some kind of show.

Tony B Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 The two guys with pipes. The left one is typical of a Bavarian style. Though German pies are often Mersham or Mersham lined. The one on the right is almost certainly a Dunhill! that was probably taken from a Brtitsh officer, they were (well still are) extremly expensive.
