Cossack volunteer - photo id help
Hi guys,
I came across two photos: one is WW2 photo showing cossack volunteer with unknown Cossack unit. The second one - post war photo of a decorated veteran Ivan Karabin, an officer who served in Ukrainian Free Cossacks. Could this be the same person? I tried comparing facial features, the earlobes definitely look similar. If this happens to be the same man, then we can finally id the unit that the cossack in the first photo belongs to. Would appreciate everyone's opinion.

Re: Cossack volunteer - photo id help
Good evening Askold,
you will find some info about "Kosaken / Wehrmacht"...
Several files as a *.pdf download, just one link:
http://portal-militaergeschichte.de/koller_kosaken
Just klick on the *pdf file on the site, just what you are asking for...

Take care about the book in german language:
Friedrich Kübler: "Kosaken - Mit uns im Kampf gegen Stalin und den Bolschewismus"
(Überlebende berichten)
Book from the year 1982 is online, as a *.pdf file
Exellent work, lots of very rare photos...
Excellent book, but to sorry only in the german language, a must read!

* The book is strange, not very pleasant to read, the transfer of the Cossacks to the Russian army is horrible ...
Btw. The great-grandparents of my former workmate Roman were cossacks, Roman very often talked about all this,
the family was deported to Kazakhstan,he was a very proud person, we were talking about all this very often, very good!
the proud man always felt set back, once addressed stupidly, the man never forgot.
Addressed as a "Russian-German", the man was always very angry, and was extremely aggressive towards everyone.
A very fine person who understands but little fun when it came to his origin ...
The term "Russian-German" brought the man out of the house, which he did not accept at all.

Hi Hans,
Thank you for your feedback, I am fully aware of the Cossacks in German service history I was specifically curious about that particular photos.

Thanks to Seppo Koivisto,
unfortunately I forgot to put the link, the book is very interesting, unfortunately only available in german language.
Not very much about "Kosaken" in german service from my side, just one interesting photo,
that I found somewhere a long time ago, maybe interesting for some users here in the forum.
Photo is slightly enlarged, improved, and slightly sharpened, nothing more.

P.S. As far, as I am aware of, only german officers were wearing the white "Papacha" within the Cosack units,
if that's wrong, then i'm asking for an improvement?
P.S. "Lienzer Kosakentragödie" / "Lienz Cossack Tragedy"
Link:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lienzer_Kosakentragödie

Re: Cossack volunteer - photo id help
Thanks for the feedback. I thought so too, but wanted to hear other opinions that would confirm my theory. In addition, I have seen the same V shaped shevron on another Ukrainian unit.
