Hi ,
We are a 5-6 friends in here who are active on this Forum and they are
I am very fond of. But then we unfortunately have an open Forum as people do not have to sign up to see the posts. But unfortunately also many members in here who unfortunately only harvest but sow very rarely.Best,Morten.
Hi ,
although what I write above is the case I need to post more from my collection.Best,Morten.
Hi,
I'm afraid it happens in all threads and forums. You have thousands of members, thousands of looks at threads, a few who comment and a few who contribute. The few who contribute keep the threads alive otherwise they would die.
Cheers,
Larry

Very nice Larry and thanks for sharing, these yellow/red Laufbahn- und Sonderausbildungsabzeichen on fieldgrey material patches are hard to find. On photos they are even harder to find, thank you for bringing this under our attention. However,, I have some remarks:
- The fieldgrey patches, as issued on blue for POs (Unterführer ohne Portepee) and lower ranks, we have/see are mainly as worn by the Artilley branch;
- In the Reichsmarine the patches were allowed, but in the Kriegsmarine, the wearing of these insignia was strictly forbidden; which could indicate that they are Reichsmarine. However some of the insignia used date from the KM period.
- The Sonderausbildungsabzeichen (red on fieldgrey) have been on the market for long. the Laufbahnabzeichen (yellow on fieldgrey) appear to be around for shorter time (after my asking around amongst very long time collectors).
Without expressing opinions about the originality (I have to do more research into an unresearched field) I am only stating that this field is yet another field for research, the only sources I have are are Schlicht & Zienert, and ancient men now vanished.
So, a matter worth researching together...
Thanks for your input and I totally agree that more research is needed on the yellow on feldgrey laufbahnabzeichen. Photos of these in wear would be nice but I haven't seen any. The only reference material I have about the yellow on grey patches is Angolia & Schlicht's Die Kriegsmarine - Uniforms & Traditions vol. 3, pages 36-38.
Cheers,
Larry

Thanks for the ID of my Konteradmiral photo.

KRIEGSMARINE Feldgrau
in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment

Hi,
The photo is in an album which belonged to a crewman who served aboard M132 (1 Minensuchflottille). As there are many photos of the 1 Minensuchflottille 1 cap tally in wear I would say they were taken pre -1939. He served some time aboard the harbor vessel v.St. Hieckmann, Memel as well. The album contains postcards of Minensuchflottille Pillau, Pillau Harbor, Marineschule Flensburg, Torpedoschule Flensberg-Mürwik. Is it possible that the parade photo was taken at one of those locations?
Cheers,
Larry
