Found german photo album

#1

Hello, I have found recently a bunch of old german family photos.
They never been published before.
They belonged to the former German habitants of Wałbrzych, Poland (Back then: Waldenburg in Schl. Germany).
They were kept nice and safely 70 years by some polish family for unknown reason (short after the War such memoires were often treated as trash).
Some of them contain names and description, many not.
Whole album I have put on flickr:

Below I would like to show you few of them
If you could tell me something more about these people and situation, what interesting you notice, would be great.
I don't wanto break any rule of this forum. If I did let me know. Regards

Nice.
There seems to be a first name and surname on one of the photos. It may help to track down the family.
Croatian SS.
They have Police sleeve eagles, they are not SS.

Many thanks for posting these images !

Copies of some of these uniform pictures were sold on ebay several years ago, here is another from this group for the thread:

As mentioned these are Polizei (with Croat shield). The main subject of the album is a woman who is a Polizei Helferinnen.

Regards,
Gerard
