I would say he’s an Australian, Royal Australian Air Force. If he was a Kiwi he would have black shoulder tabs with white NewZealand printed on them, this guy has green tabs on his epaulettes. Lemon squeezer hats weren’t worn by NZ during the Vietnam War only Berets or Jungle hats(boonies). -

A Sturmgeschütz III model displayed on a big Rock Jüterbog Artillery School , says Wir bleiben was wir waren-Sturmartillerieisten. Couldn't begin to hazard a guess on the scale of model, it naturally depends on the size of the Rock. -

The young Hasso Von Manteuffell in full Regimental Regalia of 3rd Hussar Regiment, photo is taken in 1921 when he was in the Reichswehr, in the now titled 3rd Reiter Regiment, indeed the 2nd Squadron of the 3rd Reiter took lineal descent from Brandenburgisches Husaren-Regiment „von Zieten“ Nr. 3, the unit he was in for most of the war, so like the photo with the soldier wearing the Ulan Coat, perhaps this unit the 2nd Squadron wore the Hussar uninform for a bit into the Weimar era. -

Just acquired some more HJ related items. (Brithday presents for myself.) 1934 dated M31 Canteen, with belt hanger. canteen is paramilitary/political/HJ type (basically same as regular m31 canteen but without the cup) Marked "HRE" for Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. Last photo shows HJ boys at camping event in full kit. Canteens are of the same type. HJ Luftwaffenhelfer or "Flakhelfer" or "flak helper" unifrom breast eagle. Starting in 1943 HJ were drafted in to auxiliary luftwaffe support units to help with local air defense, airborne lookouts, operate search lights, or even man anti air guns. As the war situation got worse for the germans, younger boys were conscripted and even BDM girls. When it comes to flakhelfer kids, I see a lot of variations in breast eagles, Some have this eagle, some have standard luft eagles others have none. -

WWI M16 German Helmet. sans liner and chinstrap. Same as in the photo of the man, who happens to be an Austro-Hungarian Soldier, Austria ordered a load of the type from Germany. The photo looks doctored, making for the odd shape of the helmet.
