Because I couldn't find a topic with sharing your own photo collection with others,
I'll post my own collection here, If that's okay.

Yes please! Please do post more.

And thank you for doing so. Great to see the variety of uniforms.
The picture marked "29" (in white/right bottom corner) caught my attention!
I can only see one "normal looking" German visor cap. The rest...

Belts/ammo pouches look German, greatcoat and boots too but those caps...
Have you got any info on this image. Thinking its pre war Could it be at Kasan?

I shall post the back of the picture as soon as possible.

This is the photograph where I am very proud of. ^^
A group of Fallschirmjäger.

And a heavily decorated soldier.

The seller of this photograph said that one of these were Waffen SS.
But I'm starting to doubt that.

Hello D!

Thanks for the back

Interesting!

For some reason, of the last *)3 I can only see the last photo of the giggling men.
Wonder what they're smoking...

One is clearly LW, the other looks
like SS. His collar tabs (could have been Panzer) but not least because
of eagle on left arm...

Thanks again for sharing

PS. *) It's as if the images are loading and then disappear.

Hello Waleed,

I have changed it, hope you can see the photographs now.

I can see them, but my computer is just weird.

I really like those KM photos...

I'll be posting a huge group from one soldier this afternoon.

I'm looking forward to that Brendan .

Here are some other photo's I have,

This photograph was taken in 1944.
The Germans thought that Americans were very close to the Neterlands so they fled, but that wasn't, the Americans were still very far away and Germans came back.
In the Netherlands they call it "Dolle Dinsdag", or Crazy Tuesday.
Hope I'm explaining it right.

Two german hilferinnen.

I unfortunatly don't know what kind of soldiers this are.

I really like this one.

And the last one;

Hi Dutch. I really like that grouping of mini portrait photos. Are those negatives? That group shot of the unknown soldiers seems to be two WH officers, a HJ Leader, and the one second from the left puzzles me. He seems to be wearing the A-SS M32 Tunic, but seems to have two shoulder boards instead of the normal single shoulder board on the right shoulder. Nice photo.

All of my photos are right here (no need reposting them): http://www.feldgrau.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28809

Enjoy

Brendan, it's what a photographer nowadays would call a "contact sheet" - a montage of all the poses of a person/thing/place he has taken, given to the customer for him to pick the final portrait he then blows up from negative.

Ah, I see. My computer provides that option when printing numerous photos. Thanks for the info.

Hi again!

Now I see them al too. Great pictures!
Brendan, I think those miniatures are actually a contact sheet or sheets.
A photographer will (well, before digital cameras came out) usually take
a whole lot of shots. Then choose the best in regards to lighting, posture etc.

Have to check the difference between the parade dress and normal tunic
collars, as one has the feldwebel stripe/band top and one as usually seen.
See the top 3 and second row cmpared to the rest with helmet.

Thanks again for sharing.
