Von Hindenburg wearing Nazi eagle?

Does anyone have a clue about this photo? I am sure this is a stupid question but it appears that Von Hindenburg is wearing the Nazi Eagle on the right breast of his uniform? https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTPa1bFwHnS_THyUThSt0yhWKLKazDlelKurBS6bKNXZTPHXoXCIw http://www.ouest-f...

Re: Fallschirmjager Photos - Fake, Reprints or Real ??

Two things I notice immediately... 1. The photos appear intentionally aged with all of the "hairs" and "specs"; this does not happen when a photo is taken in my opinion and I have never seen one such as this. 2. These men drop in, or are otherwise out on some sort of recon, presu...

My guess on the numbers is that they reference a key, which describes in more detail what the object or place is.

This way, they don't clutter up the photos with all the writing. In addition, they, they can reference the same things in numerous photos with one key.

The people at this site might be very interested in getting a copy of that photo you have. And they might be able to help you find out more about it.

I think you are mixing up right and left!

In Germany you drive on the right side of the road.
Yes, I mixed up up right and left.

We drive in the right lane in the US too.

Interesting that even back then, with the very first highways, people seem to have primarily driven in the left lane, and used the right lane only for passing.

You can tell by the oil and wear patterns.
