Interesting photos, Haze. Indeed, AA, and the men in the 2nd photo are clearly Luftwaffe. Most AA was indeed LW organically even if organically belonging to Heer units, even coming down to army battalion AA defense - they had to be LW. The third phot is most interesting, one rarely sees photos of German soldiers giving food to Eastern children - who are obviously quite anxious. Figure the rest
This photos were never published before. They are from my friends family album. His grandfather, like many Silesians, was forced to join Third Reich forces. Few more (and sorry for my poor english)
Thank you for posting these , a fantastic shot of the downed Russian bomber and again the hungry children , seems no one to fend for them , wonder what became of them - a very sad image, when you look at the smiles at the prospect of a bite to eat when you stomach is so empty...... God love them. Credit to the men who fed them.

And few last photos.
