Wow, what a great photo. I've never seen a sleeve band like that before.

 

[wilhelm saris]

had seen this before, but it is rare.
It is from Ernst Szabo from Austria.

a question, so young (in the photo) and so many decorations?

 

[wilhelm saris]

He seems quite young. I also wondered why he has so much decorations.
Where would he have been in action!

 

[Pimpf359]

He really does look very young.
It’s amazing what these young people achieved—yet today, they whine if they have to pick up a shovel.
It looks like he’s wearing an SS belt buckle.

Great photo. Young chap who saw plenty of fighting. The CT is a new one on me and I don't see anything about it in the regulations. My guess would be that due to his wounds he was seconded to the training staff at a Gebietsführerschule.

I took a close look at the cuff title. I am certain that it doesn't say "HJ". The first letter before the "J" is either a "B" or an "E".
Furthermore, he wears the SS-Police badge below the right breast pocket. The photo turns a few things on their head.

On the right side of the jacket's collar there is also a badge, too bad it's not visible

That must be an edelweiss

 

[wilhelm saris]

it's the Austrian type of Edelweiss as to be found
with much Szabo photos.
