    1. 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

    2. Dear All,

      I would appreciate help locating the 7 Garde-Infanterie-Regiment on 4 Jan 1915.

      I have a letter sent on this date and would like to describe the location of this unit (1 Bataillon).

      By the way - do I understand it correctly that 7GIR was created in 1915 from 2 Garde Ersatz Regiment? According to some sources the unit was created later during the war.

      Below is part of the letter, I guess this is Bois Brûlé (The Burned Forest). It however doesn't fit with information from Ruhmeshalle (page 79), saying that the unit was there from 6 October 1915 to 23 July 1916.

      Regards,

      Marcin

    3. Thanks Alex.

      I understand that Flieger Bataillons were comprised of a number of Feldflieger Abteilungs (but how many, exactly?).

      Also, the number on the shoulderboards was assigned to Bataillon, and not Abteilung. I am guessing now, but no numbers were present on the officers' shoulderboards.

      As to the book you mean - hope it will be in English.

      Kind regards and thanks for your help.

    4. Dear All,

      I have a basic question regarding the aviation units from 1914-1918.

      Would someone be so kind to describe in three or more sentences what was the structure of the flying units in the Army?

      What was the idea of Flieger Abteilung / Flieger Bataillons / Feldflieger Ersatz Abteilung.

      Next - how to distinguish from one from another on the pictures? How to tell that what I can see is a ground unit (but still - from aviation unit), and not the flying team?

      Kind regards,

      Marcin
