Nice impressions. Do you guys have any info on collar tabs worn by the osttruppen in this unit? I'm trying to find some info on them but a lot seems contradictory.

Thanks!!...And, yes there is one place that sells quality POA collar tabs.Look at (tridentmilitary.com) under the "Foreign Legion's of the army" section.
Here is a photo of Georgian & Russian Ost-Battalion troops Captured at Normandy...You can see the Russian heer tabs wore by a Russian Heer Eastern volunteer..These are likely 709th Infantry osttruppen.
Another thing to note is alot of Russian Heer soldaten in the Western Front in France wore the standard German army insignia set with Litzen (Generic Grey) Most likely and a army breast eagle,Infantry shoulder boards,POA sleeve shield.But some also wore a "winged swastika" breast patch too.

When are you going to get an accordion for your POA impression, Rains?
