      On the advise of one of our forum members I posted the picture on the Great War Forum and got some interesting responses, here is the link: http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...ic=77095&hl= Regards, Hardy

      The Major must have both qualifications Reiterabzeichen and Rettungsschwimmer. Have a look here: http://home.clara.net/percy/personal.htm Hardy

      We need a scan to solve this. a comma between Retter, schwimmen would be right, but so would be Reiter, Schwimmer Are you sure it is Reiter and not Retter? Is it Schwimmer or schwimmen, have a close look if it is Schwimmer or Schwimmen, only these two words would be correct spelling Retter http://www.sitecenter.dk/corysan/duelighedstegnside2/ Reiter

      It would make your Major a certified Lifeguard
    5. Naxos
      You say "followed by Schwimmeren" (Schwimmeren is not a German word) could the word be "Rettungs-Schwimmer" or "Retter schwimmen"? Hardy

      12 Berufliche, technische oder sportliche Bef?higungsnachweise: Section 12: trade, technical qualification or an accomplishment in sports: To have the entry "Reiter" in section 12 an officer would have qualified as a Horseman by having accomplished one of the classes of the Reiterabzeichen. Hardy

      Am I understanding that this Wehrpass is to a Major - if so the remark "Reiter" in Qualifications would indeed be an abbreviation for Reiterabzeichen. Is there a roman numeral behind like: III, or letter b or s? Regards, Hardy

      It looks small compared to a regular size EK2 (is this like Prinzengr?sse?) Hardy

      All I can find: IR411 was part of the 202ID recruited from X Corps District; Hanover. 411 had some elements from the IX Corps District (Holstein) as well. Reuss was in the XI Corps District. Hardy

      Award Document:

      What it looks like depends on the State (W?rttemberg, Hessen, Sachsen ....) It means "silver merit medal" I think it is the State equivalent to the Iron Cross Hardy this is the Baden one:

      add one "V" and one "S-W" Hardy

      Could Herr Gebert in August of 1937, when the Taylor Shop Mohr & Speyer made the Uniform for him, have been a Stabszahlmeister or ObStabszahlmeister, then during the war advanced to the rank of Generalleutnant id Heeresverwaltung? Hence, he or someone else removed the Stabszahlmeister or ObStabszahlmeister on the label since it no longer matched the actual rank of the tunic. Hardy
    23. Naxos
      Could it be: Herrn Gebert Stabszahlmeister
    24. Naxos
      I have Rittmeister Gebert in the 1928 Rangliste - can anyone check in the 1937/38 Ranglisten for Gebert? Hardy
