Re: Cossack Volunteers Pics
What seems to be a sleeve shield for Kuban Artillery in the Don Cossacks Division (note this is the same as for the Don Cossacks artillery but without the word "DON".
The text and sleeve shield from David Littlejohn: Foreign Legions of the Third Reich. Will you come back?

Hi Artho,
I don't think this was for Kuban-Artillery with the Don Cossacks (that would not make any sense), more likely just Don Cossack -Artillery

Re: Cossack Volunteers Pics
Thanks Askold for your in-put,
I don´t really know.
And how about this man. Really a cossack? An over-sea cap with "Totenkopf" (from WWII period?), shoulder boards of Sonderführer/Fachführer? and a sleeve shield of .......?

Re: Cossack Volunteers Pics
The patch and oversized skull indicate that the man belonged to Jungshultz cossacks.

Re: Cossack Volunteers Pics
Thanks Askold,
So must mean this. I wonder what is the text on the sleeve shield? Source: David Littlejohn, Foreign Legions of the Third Reich. "Well done Kamerad, give me the five"
With best regards
Arto

Re: Cossack Volunteers Pics
please Arto, who is the man with Totenkopf cap??
is he a cossack? from what unit??
I was thinking Cossack were transfer to W-SS only in paper, and never wear SS symbols or clothes...

Re: Cossack Volunteers Pics
Hi Ustuf.33
I have ever neither seen cossacks wearing SS insignias or SS totenkopfs, but they did wear other totenkopf insignias, as in the case of Jungschultz unit, as Askold and Semenov wrote. Visit the topic "Cossack´s headgear SS Totenkopf" on the page 8.
Navegating in the internet I found pictures of cossacks, but they many times mention "kazan/kasan", does that something to do with Kasakhstan? If so, in what german regiment they belonged?
As it is well known cossacks were expert horsemen, but this horse looks strange
