"I like a good story, well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself." - Mark Twain
Interesting picture, Aesop. Any idea why the SS runes are missing from their right collar tabs? The man in the center appears to be an Obersturmfuhrer (O-2) who would otherwise certainly be wearing his runes. They seemed to wear their uniforms better than the TSA do.
SD and Gestapo members wore the black collar tab. No runes. These were member of an Einsatzkommando operating behind the Ostfront.
It is beyond imagining how many people these guys killed.
It's for your safety, you know. Can I see your papers?
