    Freikorps picture, but which unit ?


    Recommended Posts

    Hi Andreas,

    I'm not sure, the badge is looking like the old sign/symbol from Telegraphen- & Nachrichten-Truppen!?

    On the collar it looks like a (Divisions-)Kleinabzeichen (wearing also on cap (Kappenabzeichen)!?

    Is on the card a date? ;) Best regards,

    Jens

    Hi Jens,

    unfortunately there is no date on the the back of the card.

    Only the photographers sign "Elite-Photo-Zentrale" E. Hey, Altona, Große Freiheit 15

    I´ve never seen the old sign from the Telegraphen- & Nachrichtentruppe, could You

    show such one ?

    Thanks

    Andreas

    Not Freikorps badges.

    The collar badge is likely that of the Bavarian 11th Infantry Division.

    The sleeve badge is likely what KIR says.

    Hi bolewts58,

    I meant to see the badge from the Garde - Kavallerie - Schützen - Division

    on the collar.

    Thanks

    Andreas

    Actually, you're correct - GKSD. The other collar badge at the back of the collar is therefore likely Freikorps Schleswig-Holstein.

    The sleeve shield is for the Freiwillige Nachrichten-Truppen.

    It's possible that all 3 of these badges could be worn together.

    Rare combination of unit insignia. Too bad, the badges are not clearer.

    As I stated, the sleeve badge is Freiwillige Nachtrichten-Truppen and is shown in Haarcke's book. 621.1 on page 106.

    Unfortunately I don´t have the book from Ingo, so this

    will be a further purchase.

    Thanks for Your statement bolewts58

    Regards

    Andreas
