looking for Das Reich Photo.
Looking for photo from the Book Loyalty is my honour. It shows an officer in a smock strutting along with the caption reading somthing like "The image of an SS officer. Young,fit and confident of victory". Sure Neil will know the one I mean. Dont currently have accsess to my books.

Re: looking for Das Reich Photo.
I never said it was Sturmbannfuhrer Josef (Jupp) Diefenthal you said that and yes he was in the LAH also the award date is of Jupps Ritterkreuz 5. 02. 45 and the photo is commonly dated as 1941 barbarossaPeiper wrote:Thanks FranzFranz repper wrote:Cant be as this is a Early war photo and Sturmbannfuhrer Josef (Jupp) Diefenthal was awarded the Ritterkreuz 5. 02. 45Peiper wrote:That looks like "Jupp" Diefenthal

Thanks for the info Franz, yes i did say it "looks" like Diefenthal, i know it isn't,Franz repper wrote: I never said it was Sturmbannfuhrer Josef (Jupp) Diefenthal you said that and yes he was in the LAH also the award date is of Jupps Ritterkreuz 5. 02. 45 and the photo is commonly dated as 1941 barbarossa
(think we had our wires crossed lol), as you say the pic is captioned Russia 41
also it is of the Das Reich.
The likeness is very similar though, if the info for the pic wasn't there you would
think it was him, thats what im saying mate.

When I joined Das Reich I looked at that photo and said to my self "Cool bastard. One day, one day"Brigardefuhrer wrote:Was it this one?John
I have since based my "Rupert" impression on this guy, though dont look anywhere near as cool
Somewhere, I have a copy of a recreated photo we did a couple of years ago

Knew youd know this one. Any chance of seeing that pic?
Re: looking for Das Reich Photo.
Mine is an SMW "Type-1 M40, early 3/4 overprint", the one in the original picRopes wrote:Whats the smock in the original Plane tree?
looks an early one too (looks like no skirt pockets), you cant tell because it is
rolled up but maybe a 1/2 overprint, the black pattern on the print seems to
be bigger than mine ??.
