Photos 95th ID captured Germans

[manayunkman]

I just got a 95th ID photo album and these were in it.

 

Is that a paratrooper on the Jeep?

 

Is that a political uniform with the red cross arm band?

 

Is the old timer wearing a WWI uniform?

[manayunkman]

And who is the guy ridding shotgun?

 

Is that a denazified army officers uniform he has on?

 

Any comments are welcome.

Am I the only one who finds these interesting ?

[manayunkman]

Anyone know what the Red Cross uniform is?

[Brian Keith]

I find these interesting, but I can't help ID any of the forign uniforms. I like the modified jeep!

Thanks for posting them.

The Jeep photo, looks like it has germans riding on the hood, shotgun and back seat. Most likely pow's

One of the Germans on the hood looks like a paratrooper.

 

What kind of uniform is The guy ridding shot gun wearing?

 

He has a weird collar tab and no breast eagle. 
 

And the guy with the Red Cross armband is he in a political uniform ?

Agreed that these are interesting photos.  I don't know enough about Third Reich uniforms to be able to offer you any guidance.  My suggestion is that you post these photos over at our sister Forum, the World Militaria Forum, as there are a lot of TR specialists there who should be able to help you diagnose who these guys were.

That jeep photo is great. Modified front fenders and what looks like a improvised fold down hard top. The guy on the hood may be wearing a para smock, not sure. The guy riding shotgun looks like he has RAD collar tabs. The guy with the red cross armband looks like an SA or political uniform and appears to be a GI playing dress up. Great album.

Was this from the 95th Division Artillery photo album on eBay a couple months ago? I was going to bid on it but somehow lost track of time.

Are there any other pictures of Jeeps in it?

[manayunkman]

Yes it is the same album.

Yes, looks like a party uniform. Seems this man has his left hand amputated, so maybe he helps in a hospital or was in, could be the reason for his red-cross-armband. But german uniforms are not part of my interest.

[manayunkman]

I never noticed the missing hand.

 

Thanks for pointing that out.

The guy riding shotgun looks to be wearing an RAD enlisted uniform, probably got forced into combat as they were using RAD troops as AA gunners and at times I'm sure infantry. The guy with the Red Cross armband looks almost like it could be RAD as well? Maybe some type of RAD higher up.
