jcsanche Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 HelloI am trying to reserch a nice medical tunic. The tunic was tailored in 1940 to a Ltcol Hoermann. He may have won the EK2 as there are 2 internal snapsbetween the 2nd and 3rd botton hold. He has llops for a medal bar and some loops at the bottom of the left pocket ( too low for a EK1). The tunic was tailored by S Scharrer in Munich.ThanksJuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 There were TWO Doctors H?rmann (the tailor's "H?ermann" combining correct spelling with alternate Hoermann spelling!) of this rank.This was PROBABLYOberfeldarzt (1 April 1937 #5) Dr. WILHELM H?rmann, since in January 1939 he was in the medical officer pool of Munich's garrison, Sanit?ts-Staffel M?nchen, under the nominal control of San. Abtlg. 7.The OTHER one wasOberfeldarzt (1 March 1937 #2) Dr. JACOB H?rmann, in January 1939 in the same sort of "general list" of medical officers-- but in Dresden.On the other hand, since H?rmann is a Bavarian name, either could have had a hometown tailor do their uniforms.Neither was in the Reichsheer, so no pre-WW2 awards known. Neither can be definitively identified among WW1 officers since NONE were then medical officers. There were several possible post-April 1918 Leutnants in the Bavarian army who might have gone on to such a career change, but since they do not appear in that wartime Seniority List, I have no first name for either suspect, in the Honor Rank List which omits first names.Neither Dr. H?rmann made medical general, though to confuse things, a THIRD "Dr." H?rmann-- Max, was an artillery General in WW2.

Guest Rick Research Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Here's Prime Suspect from Podzun's 1953 printing of the January 1939 Stellenliste:[attachmentid=17521]The only reason there are first names for him and his possible brother is apparently because there were TWO Oberfeldarzt Dr. H?rmanns and being on some sort of "general list" as they both were, not assigned to a specific unit, they might have been confused...Like we can tell ONE Leutnant M?ller with no first name from all the others, just because of a regimental assignment. Aaaaggghhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
