Thanks so much.

Anyone could tell me how to spot the difference between officers and enlisted. Did officers and other ranks wore the same hat style? At least during some time. 

I´ve seen many pictures and only see the same hat in most of them, except in those officers wearing big crown hats (german style).

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards,

Dolfek.

Dolfek : The Japanese Army adopted in 1930 the model 90 service uniform . this uniform was khaki and comprised tunic with stand collar ,trousers or breeches and peaked cap for officers and men alike . these peaked caps were WW1 era style . with model 90 uniforms the arm of service was marked by collar patches in different colours .red for Infantry ; green for Cavalry ; yellow for Artillery etc.The 98 uniform was a modification of the 90 model . It was adopted in 1938. The peaked cap was retained but in different shape more modern . the collar patches in arm colour dissapeared and were replaced on the collar by rank tabs . Only the troopers of the Imperial Guard continued the use of the peaked cap . and the Military Police . the majority including officers used as service headgear the well known and unique Japanese cap .

Kronenknopfe , at first sight , and the lower cockade is definitely not Bavarian .

Officer type . And of the M98 uniform 

French Colonials , Moroccan , Algerian , 

Hello : In catholic simbology , the skull and bones is of antique use . Apart , the place where Jesus was crucified was the Mount Golgota or Calvary and both words mean the same Mount of the Skull 

Karpathenkorps for sure , officer , his cockades and his well tailored tunic marked that .but the shoulderboards ? please , I too need a close up view of the SBs

Hello : Once i read that the Artillery of the Orange Free State weared Pickelhaubes .

Why ? In pure common sense ,the badge was not like the pilot or observer one ,not even as a wounded badge .it was a conmemorative piece . Granted by ? I dont know . according to which statute ? neither know . In another sense ,how many Tank crewmen served in the German Army ? Roughly 20 A7vs and around 60 british Tanks were the number of German Army Tanks , thats implies at most 500 tankers  how many survived the war '? and how many rejoined the Army or the Freikorps ? ,or war veteran associations ?

Ulsterman : The first photo shows an Argentinian Army Colonel .wearing the full dress uniform of the NCOs School .the rank is carried on the braided shoulder boards . Three circular gold suns . over a disc of black cloth.and as a oak leaf motif braided in gold over the collar which carries too a serrated braid of gold . the circular badge on the front of the tunic collar is the emblem of the NCO s School .the badge like a gold and red cockade pinned on his right breast is the badge of the graduated Staff Officers.he is also a War veteran .The second photo is of a Honduran Air Force Officer .

Trooper D : The officer with the strange hat is a Swedish one .

Hello : The feldwebel , Ormester , in Hungarian , carries the 1861 model sabre for Infantry officers . Farkas : The Infantry NCo s entitled to carry sabre used the same model of the officers .all metal . certainly existed swords and sabres with leather scabbard , they were for the officials .

My pleasure , I left incomplete my last post . All ranks of Cavalry carried sabres . a model for troopers . apart , mounted artillerymen carried sabre too , mounted Gendarmerie also . usually of the 1869 or  the very similar 1904 models 

The Prussian : perhaps the best traduction of durchzug to english is across or crossed .

Dario Cro : The sabre , was carried By : officers , feldwebels ,kadettfeldwebels, one year volunteers) ensigns .music masters ,doctors , the officials , according with his status carried either sabre or a sort of sting , apart , the sabre was carried by Cavalry 

My pleasure , Take a look to the site The Marshalls Baton . the site is dedicated to the third reich era Generals uniforms and insignia . but the part about the generals collar tabs could be useful 

Hello : Johan Herbert von Herbertsein , was military attache in Paris between 1900 and 1909 , a long time 

Paja : You will find Mondragon when you arrives to the Decena Tragica of 1913

Gentlemen : Was current to send officers to Saumur to learn riding skills and cavalry tactics . naturally not only cavalrymen ,artillerymen goes too .both used horses . 

Iron Cross Diamonds : The collar tabs were normally . made of a piece of cardboard covered with felt or wool cloth , the braid was made of silver or gold kantille , and thread . the kantille is the thicker part , normally the design is cutout of paper , glued over the cloth and then hand braided over . 

Farkas : No one is an encyclopedia , and nobody began without mistaking . 

Farkas : The 23th Landwehr Regiment was part of the Imperial Royal Landwehr . the particular Army of the not Hungarian territories of the Empire . The 23th was formed in 1893 and his garnison city was Zara . In Dalmatia .

Farkas : I like , one question , Dalmatian Landwehr ? that is K K (austrian ) 

Hello : As Argentinian i must said about the 1982 War that the theme is hard to debate , The general feelings here are : the Malvinas Falkland are ours , Great Britain posseses the islands by the force , Its as if a German of 1912 , intended to debate wiyh a French about Alsace . The war was for us a disaster , political diplomatic and military. the discrete military power that we have detented for decades was broked a pieces . the valour of the soldiers and their blood was dilapidated , not only by the Junta , all the Governments that come after made the same . misuse , manipulation . bad politic . Personally the 2th of April I was a civilian official in the Argentine Army . At early morning I arrived at my post , surprisingly the first lieutenant who shared with me the office was awaiting with a portable radio receptor in his hands . What happens ? asked ,we have reconquered Malvinas ,what you think about ? Well If I were British I will think that what begins in Friday not ends well . was the first that came to my mind . 

Paja : De Vedia , Herbenstein, Mondragon , appears as in those years the duration of thepost of attache was longer .Mondragon is the inventor of the semiautomatic rifle of the same name , used to same extent by German flyers during WW1.Apart from this skills was a typical Mexican putschist militar . 

The Light blue visor cap is amazingly Austro Hungarian !
