Hello All,
I am looking for photos of Tropical Kompanie and Kustenjager personnel operating in Tunisia and The Med.
They seem to be few and far between and I appreciate anything that points me in the right direction.
Thx in advance.

Brandenburger photos?
Re: Brandenburger photos?
Check the books by Tony Rogers on the operations in the Dodecanese in autumn 1943 (Churchill's Folly and Swastika over the Aegean). A picture of Lt. von Koenen is here:

The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41

There are photographs of the Kustenjaeger in Schenk's book on the Aegean. Oddly they are in typical tropical uniforms but with Waffen-SS pattern helmet covers.
