LCK81403 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The German World War Two soldier in the photo is in the enlisted ranks, not an officer. The cavalry style trousers are more typical of a cavalry unit, although they were a "fashion statement" in the late '30s and early '40s, and could be worn by enlisted and officer. The cavalry style trousers (riding breeches) quickly became less common as the war progressed. Riding breeches are most costly to produce and purchase than regular type trousers. (Special tailoring in the seat and legs for riding on a saddle.) The distinction between officer and enlisted uniforms are several: an officer has a plain metal buckle, open face, while an enlisted man wears a full-face buckle specific to his service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Railroad Service, S.S., Fire Service, Mine Service, and so on). Shoulder boards and collar devices are another distinction, and the presence or absence of a cord around the head band is another distinction. Also the branch of service will be shown by specific emblems on the upper front of the hat. In the case of the man in this photo, he is wearing an enlisted belt buckle, and his dress cap device indicates he is in the Luftwaffe (Air Force), and he does not have an officer style cord around the head band. The flex shoulder tab in the photo is a common feature of an enlisted tunic, whereas a hard shoulder board would be common for an officer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 10 minutes ago, John_Mereness said: Paulette Goddard The Rolls-Royce Phantom II Croydon convertible victoria shown with Paulette Goddard was bought I believe when she was with Charlie Chaplin. The car eventually had a home with modern sculptor Richard Lippold of Locust Valley , NY who was a good friend of mine and we would take the car out when he owned it for rides. I believe the car now resides in England. It had cloth upholstery in it from new . When Richard owned it ,it had been painted tan at some point. He met Paulette Goddard at a party and she asked him how her car was! He also owned a 1926 Franklin boat tail coupe and a 1929 Bentley tourer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
