Yes, now I see that the insignia is the golden one.
I am only SFC in the German Air Force Reserve

I see on your awards/badges that you are in a joint position in the staff/HQ?!?
Thanks for the information Commander!

Maybe the wrong thread for this but seeing activities of other members should be part of the "picture-thread" too.

This was my fifth visit to Verdun and I am surprised every time what you can see of the battle even after 87 years. A battle in which two great countries lost their best soldiers...

At Verdun more people died than in Stalingrad if you compare the area they fought. In Verdun it was a maximum of 50 maybe 80 square-km. The area around Stalingrad was much bigger.

A late contribution to this thread is better than none at all.. This is me beside a rock, not in Russia but in Sweden! Not far from this inscription was a camp for Soviet internees during WW2. To keep them busy they were sent to build a road, in the deep forest of Vaestmanland. Just beside the road, days before they left, someone did this inscription to comemorate the work and their stay here. The inscription is rather crude but you can see: CCCP 1944 and the star, complete with hamer and sickle.

Many russians spent time in camps in Sweden, some sources say 4000. Most escaped from camps in Norway and Finland, but some came from other places. For example in 1941 two minesweepers came over when their base in Estonia were captured by the germans. Going to Kronstadt was too risky and the crew desided to head for Sweden, minus the political officers. I think they were the only regular troops that came directly to Sweden.
