    And I know HOW rare, having the Nachlass (but not final rank boards :( ) of the Boss of all the (V) officers:

    1936: none. zero. Highest were Fregattenkapitäne (V)

    1944: 13. OK, there were a couple more recalled retirees and zV officers, hard to keep track... but say

    20 of them.

    20.

    :rolleyes::catjava:

    And the Boss of Bosses:

    The ONE--the ONLY-- Konteradmiral (V) August Böning (1891-1964)

    Dress frock coat boards as Korvettenkapitän (V) worn 1937-40:

    He was promoted Fregattenkapitän (V) 01.04.40 but by then the knee length formal frock coat was put away for the duration of the war.

    I have always thought it funny that enlisted ranks with this branch device were COOKS while the officers were PAYMASTERS!
