EK 1914 Iron Cross Doc Württ. Gebirgs Bataillon
Marcin L replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Great doc, Chris! Glenn - you have your inbox full! -
Hi Mark, Nice MIlitarpass of Garde Grenadier Regiment Nr. 3. Just click on the link to get more information about the unit - I have very similar document on my website. I think Chris is right - your guy is Jahresklasse 1894 (born 1874), so during the mobilization he was probably called into service as a Landsturmmann (if any). But let's wait for the whole document :-) Kind regards, Marcin

Dear Fellow Members, I would like to ask you kindly to help me with reading the names of Rittmeister and Oberleutnant from the pages of a Militärpass that I presented on my webpage. I don't want to copy it here to save the space. http://www.imperialgermanmilitaria.com/index.php/photos/branch/kavallerie/85-jaeger-regiment-zu-pferde-nr-12 I think the first on is "Picht" and the second one is "Weckmann" but I would appreciate your thoughts here. Do you have any more detailed information about the activity of the JRzPf. 12 during the battle near Argonne Forest? At the same time, is there anyone that could read the below (in general): Thank you for your time and effort here!

Marcin L replied to dedehansen's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Bernhard, Thank you for this very informative post! Thanks to Wikipedia, I have found this thread: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/43466-oberleutnant-roger-futterer/ It is very detailed history of the "festung Posen", including battle details. And here is more information about Gonell: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Gonell Also, Andreas, please revert to this source: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlacht_um_Posen It is in German :-) Regards! -
It's not EK, Chris. I guess it is "EK66" - Erinnerungskreuz für 1866 (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erinnerungskreuz_f%C3%BCr_1866). Great pass Irish Gunner, I have few similar on my website (http://www.imperialgermanmilitaria.com/index.php/photos/date/1870-1871/79-1870-71-militaerpass-documents ) Regards! Marcin

EK 1939 IC Document Festung Posen
Marcin L replied to dedehansen's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Hi Andreas, here is short history of the battle: http://www.pomost.net.pl/festung_posen_1945_krotka_historia_bitwy.html It is in Polish but you can easily use Google Translator, it should be sufficient. As to the Stossreserve - it seems that it was some kind of Panzer unit (according to the history above). But I can't help you more. Regards, Marcin -
That's what I have, is that a minenwerfer or are they just setting up a mousetrap? The picture is signed "No. 119" on the back. May be the 119 minenwerfer kompagnie? By the way - check out this interesting list and article, it may be sometime helpful: http://www.grensland-docs.nl/brondocumenten/minenwerfer-kompagnien-1914-1918/ http://www.grensland-docs.nl/brondocumenten/formationsgeschichte-minenwerfer-1914-1918/

Dear All, I would like to ask our German friends whether there are many imperial german militaria collectors in Germany? How would you compare WWI to WWII collectors when in comes to numbers? Do you think there are more people interested in WWI German militaria outside of Germany or within Germany? That's very interesting for me so thank you for your help! Regards from Warsaw, Marcin
