A british Captain - need some information

[Robert Noss]

Got a few photos of a british officer.

These photos were probably made shortly after the war, 1945 - 1947 I presume.

The portrait above was made by a german photographer in Verden, northern germany and in the british occupied zone.

Here is the back of the smaller portrait, the one without headgear and the back of the photo with the civilians.

So we know his name, Captain M.B. Jawetz - not a typical british name.

Interesting is also the stamp - Military Government - Kreis Group - 4 HQ

I wondered about Kreis Group - that is a mixture of german / english. Strange.

Another photo shows the captain with a Willys Jeep:

and finally the captain with a very nice german car, a Horch.

Now I appreciate every additional information.

I have a feeling that this soldier wasn't british but fought with the british troops.

What about the badge on his beret - what unit ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

He is Polish, that is indeed an interesting set of photos.

Hi,

He is Polish, that is indeed an interesting set of photos.

I agree with Chris - Polish for sure. 1 pip for a 2nd Lt in 2 pics, three pips for Captain in 1. I can't see the badeg in my only source on Poles (Rosignoli, Army badges and insignia of WWII) but he also doesn't seem to show a "generic" / general service badeg for Poland, so it may be that.

Lovely photos!
