I'm seeing SS eagles on the caps and sleeves (including the woman's), but I'm not familiar with the insignium at the top of her cap, so I'll wait for Torsten or someone else to comment.

Re: Foreign female Auxiliaries
The emblem on the cap looks like the Latvian sunburst, which was used as a national insignia. Maybe one of our Latvian friends could comment on this?

Re: Foreign female Auxiliaries
Hello Fennicus,
many thanks for explaining. I didn't know about that sunburst symbol but was wondering about it already when another example appeared in this thread http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 7#p1302767. In that case you can even faintly see the three stars in the sunburst.
As it seems this sunburst symbol was primarily (exclusively?) used by personnel of 15. Waffengrenadier-Division der SS though the men displayed it on the collar patches (Windrow, 1982, p.18, 25). Anna Bormane MD mentioned in the thread above served in the training battalion of that division.

Re: Foreign female Auxiliaries
Hi,
An interesting picture from Der Freiwillige magazine (heft 3 1979) about norwegian volunteers with a lady. Unluckily the text just mention a lady with national costume. Is she a nurse, a visitor, or are the men on home leave?

It's impossible to tell whether she's a nurse or female auxiliary based on the photo alone, since she is in civilian clothes. From the time I spent in Norway, I'd hazard a guess that the national costume she's wearing could be Norwegian. Is there any reason to suspect that she's other than a civilian?

For those interested in the Norwegian nurses on the Eastern front and can manage Norwegian, try "Fordømte engler: Norske kvinner på østfronten" by Egil Ulateig.

Thanks von thoma, Vikki and Marcus,
yes, she might be just any civilian. The original text says: "Norwegische Freiwillige der Waffen-SS mit Norwegerin im Nationalkstum am 10, Januar 1942". So she should be norwegian.
Here another from Wenn alle Bruder schweigen, now surely showing a flemish nurses.

Hi chris44!
The pictures are taken in Oslo by portrait photographer Thorleif Wardenær. He had a studio at the address "Torvet 11" in Oslo.
She sign her photos with the name "Bjørg". A common Norwegian name.
