Uniform ID question

[HPL2008]

Whatever they are, they are definitely not NPEA instructors.

Most likely civilian security guards at a military installation.

What is this uniform please?

What is this uniform please?

I believe NSKK looks like the Kepi has the NSKK rocker on the eagle.

I think the waffenfarbe is Yellow which I think is Signal.

Thank you, shamirnewell. I was thinking NSKK but the light color kepi is a new one on me.

I'm wondering if anyone can identify what information as to Ebehard Weiss's rank, unit and decorations that can be gleaned from this photo. He was apparently killed in 1945. For instance, does the epaulette configuration mean that he was in a reserve unit?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

The extra strip on each shoulder straps looks to be bright tresse which would show he was an aspiring Officer candidate. At that moment he was a Feldwebel.

Cheers, Ian.

No; it's clearly not Tresse material, but simply light-colored (apparently white) cloth. Also, officer candidate's Tresse was to be worn near the bottom of the shoulder boards,not in the center.

The cloth loops seen here are either worn to temporarily cover up the unit cyphers for security reasons, or to identify the wearers' unit. (Simple cloth loops in various colors were used for such identification purposes in the field and officially authorized by an OKH order of 15 Jan. 1943.)

Hi all,

Can anyone identify this man's unit?

Thanks in advance,
Rudi.

I think it's a KM Coastal Artillery.

Spot on von thoma. Thanks for your help. Very much appreciated.

What is the SS-Uniform in this 1935 Heinrich Hoffmann photo from NARA (perhaps an SS Motor-Sport group)?

Really it's a coverall.
The picture shows a SS-Motoreinheiten unit.

[freddiefro]

Thanks, von Thoma! I know it’s a coverall, but I've never seen rank-insignia, cufftitle, shoulderboard & chevron on a coverall before.

Hi, does someone know what is the German name for this kind of leather wintercoat?
