This is me, a bit uneasy looking, but I love this picture, it's very... natural. :) Valga (Estonia), August 2013, 11. SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division Nordland (Swedish volunteer).

The collar tabs were made my Cyrus Lee, they were originally made incorrectly on green backing so I carefully cut off the silver braid, removed the green felt and replaced it with the correct blue...
