This is very interesting.... Ausmarsch in august 1914.... ist guy has a regular mannschafts Tornister... the next 2 seem to be senior NCOs... with what we call Officers Tornister... then a real officer with the tornister and no Brotbeutel and canteen, then a guy with a really strange one.... I did not know senior NCOs wore officer's Tornister? Are these NCO with portepee?

Thanks dave, I only recognised the "In" bit ? Ahhh... OK, has to do with the postscript to to the Kapp putsch.... "Als Reaktion auf den Kapp-Lüttwitz-Putsch bildeten sich in Sachsen, Thüringen und dem Ruhrgebiet während des Generalstreiks linksgerichtete Aufstandsbewegungen gegen die Weimarer Republik. So kontrollierte beispielsweise die "Rote Ruhrarmee" mit 50.000 Bewaffneten bis in den April 1920 weite Teile des Ruhrgebiets. Die revolutionären Aufstände wurden mit Hilfe von Reichswehr und Freikorps niedergeschlagen. "

Just recieved a Militärpass with the following Freikorps related stamps..... Check out the whole book here.....

A wonderful Militärpass in this group.... Can anyone figure out what "Mitgemachte Gefechte" he had in 1920?

... Johann Niebler had it all... Some documents and a very full MP....

It was the last hooorah for the 08/15... then it changed hands... I still have the big brother though

Here is my MG08/15 gunner....

How, 6 years later I managed to get the name of the gentleman... he was in the Leib regiment before the war, but mobilised in a Landwehr regiment... Steinhauer ... I managed to get a few paper items of his from his service in the leiber in about 1905

Bruno Weiss was a teacher, who served as a Lt. d. Res. in the 16th bavarian Reserve Infanterie Regiment, he was killed in March 1917 at La Bassee.... This is one of a handfull of items from his parents house....

A beer for that man! Yup... it is indeed.. ?

Wow... that guy kills it... he must have part of the nachlass? Does anyone know who the author is?

Bingo.... Other than in the small BIO, I have never seen pics of him... by coincidence I got 3-4 pages from an officers photo album... He is in 3 group photos... a rare find... higher ranks are easier to find, a lt is difficult...

Nope... a simple Leutnant....

I just received this today.... maybe the highest decorated of any officers at Regimental level and below....

Sometimes a photo Collector happens across something exceptionally rare indeed... in this case a couple of pages from the photo album of an officer in the 3rd bavarian Infantry Regiment... amongst the photos were three photos of this man.... arguably the most highly decorated combat officer in the Bavarian army, and because he was not really famous at the time, photos of him are exceptionally rare... does anyone have an Idea who he could be?

I think he must have if the first one is a TOE?

oooooo.... you show off!!!! ?

The Bavarian Litewka is by far the nicest... ?

A bit of a bidding war... but some Bavarian Sturmbataillon goes into the binder tonight.....

Managed to get the group photo and forgot to post it....

here you go... sorry for the delay....

Just kidding ... ?

hmmmmm ... I don't see no breasts .... but nice medals.... Please don't confuse the members with fake titles... ... for those who came here with a logical desire to see Breast - star - Christmas tree ... here is Dolly!!! ?

Wow... where on earth did you turn that up??

I have no contact with anyone there ?
