Ok, this is what I was able to get from him..

Those arereally good pictures, the quality is truly outstanding. Muesuems would probably like to have scans of these.

All these people are dead.

Great stuff.

Those are fine pictures, Bik. Just everyday snapshots of soldiers doing routine and mundane things (with the exception of the last snap, which looks like a goofy party of some sort).

Those are the same kinds of pictures that soldiers all over the world take of each other. Nothing to be ashamed of. Except for the uniforms and helmets, those pics look just like the ones in my dad’s old Army scrapbooks.

He should really consider contacting a museum or historical society to give copies of the photos. It’s the quality photos like this that get archived and preserved, and this is just the tip of the iceberg from what you’ve said.

thank your friend!!! great pics.

would love to have the history with the pictures.

[Bikkuri]

Here you go.. come of the pics (and Trapper, thank you.. I hope he will be able to see what you said; I have been trying to explain the same thing to him..)

For those with honest comments, I thank you, and I am sure he feels better... to those with jerk comments... maybe this iis why we don’t have more historical pics..

[Duchess47]

Thank him please for the pictures. How young most of the soldiers look.

[Jet Jaguar]

Ping to 102

You should ask him if there are any notes on the backs of any of these photos. Wouldn’t it be great to know the name of the village in that next to last picture?

[Safetgiver]

Re your 102: I believe all servicemen are the same every where. The poses, the hijinks, the pride and the posturing for the folks back home could have been from the Viet Nam war. I picked some pictures off an NVA soldier that looked some of the pics I sent home to my girlfriend.

[Chode]

good pics... all Wehrmacht

[OB1kNOb]

Fascinating historical photos. Thanks for posting them. I hope your friend will share more photos with you.

[PAR35]

I still don’t think it is SS. But thanks for the pictures.
