Question Naval infantry insignia
Can someone explain WW2 soviet naval infantry insignia please? I`ve noticed in various photo that some wear a (gold?) and red star on the arm but some don`t. Is this a mark of rank? Post war naval infantry wear a rope and anchor patch on the left arm where the specialist badge would be, was this ever used during WW2?

heer buckle
hey gents....... had this buckle for a while and always wondered about the stamping. Appears to be a bell shape. The tab is marked as, ( as far as I can make out ) " Matth Salcher & Sohne on upper oval stamp and " Jablunkau " on the bottom half of the oval. I thought that this manufacturer was in " Wagstadt " ? Any comments are appreciated......... Thanks Detlef
Cameras and insignia of U.S. war photographers
Gentlemen,
I would like to share with you my modest collection of war photographer related material.
War photographers have always fascinated me, as it was through their eyes that we have had the chance to have an aproximation of what a war is like. It always amazed me that they used their cameras as weapons. Even though I always admired the work of well known photographers, such as Capa, Centelles, Rosenthal or
Khaldei, my admiration for the anonimous photographers was even bigger.
There were (and still are) very few sources of information about military war photographers, but I was finally able to find a magnificnet book: Armed with cameras, written by Peter Maslowski. With it, I was able to learn and then get hold of the most of the equipment and insignia of the american military photographers.
The first group of photos show a 35mm. B&W Bell& Howell Eyemo camera, of the type that filmed 90% of the footage of WWII.
There is also a 16mm Bell& Howell Filmo colour camera, one of the types used mostly in the pacific, and the one used by Hollywood director George Stevens to fim his "diary" in colour from D-Day to Berlin. I also show an unopened box with a 16mm Kodachrome roll of film, period dated.
Regards,
Gus

Interesting Group to the 93 ID
Just got this group which is a photo album some wartime company orders / letters and other docs plus a nicely produced wartime Divisional pamphlet on their role in Operation Barbarossa , including the advance through the Baltic States to Leningrad.
93 ID was a veteran Army Group North Divison and ended up in the Kurland pocket.
