[waldzee]

Cheers,

Thanks for your in-put Waldzee.
The situation of Karaites was quite interesting and unique. I still have some problems to understand the difference between a jew and a believer in judaism. So is it correct to say that karaites are believers in judaism (on their way) but they aren´t jews. I wonder what was the most prominent symbol. I suppose the 7-piece candelabrum. And least this appears in their temples (photos from internet). The architecture of their temples is quite interesting, mixture of russian orthodox/arabian etc.
From Wehrmacht-awards forum: Members of Ostturkischer Waffen-Verband der SS praying. I tried to find the picture again to look if there were comments about, but I can´t find it again.

Hi,
A Caucausian volunteer: This man seems to be blind reading a book with touch of his fingers. So I got a wild idea, could he be a iman reading a coran. But on second thought, could there be a coran printed for blinds on those days?

From "Germany´s Spanish volunteers 1941-45" by John Scurr and Richard Hook:
Twenty-four members of the Spanish Army´s Ecclesiastic Corps volunteered for the Blue Division in July 1941. As all religious festivals and practies were observed by the Spanish volunteers even in the front line, the chaplains´services were in great demand. Wearing a uniform almost identical to his German counterparts, this Spanish chaplain has a fieldt-grey peaked service cap with violet piping....and small Gothic cross on the crown. The field-grey tunic is without epaulettes and has silver buttons. ...While German chaplains wore no rank insignia, the Spanish were given permission, after some argument, to show their grades on a violet patch over the left breast pocket, in the Spanish style;; this figure wears the three gold stars of a captain. ......The crucifix is of the type used by the Spanish Army, and is on a gold chain.

Hi Semenov,
How are you? I know, but some time ago I made a post saying that I will include religious ceremonies of any volunteers to keep the topic alive. It would be good to change name. Doesn´t you agree. I don´t know how to do it. Maybe moderators can help.
With best regards
Arto

Here what seems to be a Russian Orthodox priest. Could they be cossacks members, because the man just left of the priest looks Helmuth von Pannwitz to me.
