You need to use the German spelling....Brezel.... ;-)

Chris, I checked this too - but also no Brezel/Bretzel...: EPN_1263261493_0533.jpg 1600 × 2451 Pixel

... also I can't find the name in the iron-cross Seniorenverzeichnis from march 1863.

Hi,

first picture: (Gustav Hans) Günther P a u l u s (* 17. Okt. 1898 in Rawitsch/Posen)

Begann als Kadett und trat am 10. Aug. 1914 zum Königs-Inf.-Regt. Nr.145, mehrere Gefechte als

Fähnrich an der Westfront, erhielt am 1. Sept. 1914 bei Dannevoux ein schweren Schulterschuß und

erhielt Mitte September als jüngster Soldat (16 Jahre alt) das Eiserne-Kreuz II. Klasse.

Die schwere Verwundung hatte die fast völlige Lähmung seines linken Armes zur Folge, infolgedessen

konnte seinem Wunsch, später wieder in die vorderste Front zu kommen, nicht Folge gegeben werden.

Nachdem er sehr rasch Leutnant wurde, fand er anschliessend bei verschiedene Stäben Stellungen (EKI).

Nach der Demobilmachung ging er zum Freikorps und machte als Kompanieführer bei Kämpfe gegen die

Bolschewiken und Littauer mit (Deutsche Schutzdivision (31.ID auch Division von der Lippe)).

März 1920 nahm er seinen Abschied und wurde Bankbeamter in Braunschweig.

And the second picture I also found in the net - unfortunately I can't rember where.

Best regards,

Jens

There are a couple Feld-Artillerie Regiments with a Crown, cypher, and bomb underneath... But none that I can find with the L as the cypher...

We'll have to wait for Chip...

Hi Chris!

Yes, it is a bomb underneath an L.

FAR 29 (Württemberg). The L stands for Prinzregent Luitpold v. Bayern

Hi,

I agree with Andreas - it's the cypher from the Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Prinz-Regent Luitpold von Bayern (2. Württembergisches) Nr.29

Best regards,

Jens

Hi Chris,

maybe one of this!?

- Inf.-Rgt. 81, since 1871 Frankfurt/Main

- Feld-Art.-Rgt. 11 (parts), 1868 - 1872 Frankfurt/Main

Best regards,

Jens

Addition: I think it could be: Heinrich Karl Söldner, Sek.-Lieut. i. d. Res. d. 1. Hess. Inf.-Rgts. Nr.81 !?!

(Königlich Preussische Ordensliste 1877 - Seite 938)

December 16, 2013

Hi Andreas,

I'm not sure, the badge is looking like the old sign/symbol from Telegraphen- & Nachrichten-Truppen!?

On the collar it looks like a (Divisions-)Kleinabzeichen (wearing also on cap (Kappenabzeichen)!?

Is on the card a date? Best regards,

Jens

Hi Chris,

nice tunic - one question: what is the size of this small stars (13 or 15 mm)!?

(a "regular" star for an Oberleutnant is around 17 mm.)

Thanks & best regards,

Jens

Hi,

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

I don't think so, maybe General der Kavallerie Karl Friedrich von der Goltz !???

Best regards,

Jens

Hallo Sonja,

für Deine Ahnen in der sächsischen Armee solltest Du mal im Hauptstaatsarchiv in Dresden recherchieren:

Hauptstaatsarchiv Dresden - 2.3.8.5. Verbände und Truppenteile der Sächsischen Armee

... dort sind (noch fast) alle Stammrollen erhalten geblieben.

Gruß Jens

September 27, 2013

Hi,

I see a lot of swedish cuffs, you are sure it's IR20 !?? Maybe a good close-up from a shoulderboard is helpful!?

Best regards,

Jens

... and was there certificates, cheers, Paul

Hi Paul,

in the last years, I saw only two bavarian (framed) certificates for the Königsabzeichen (1. Komp., bay. 21. Inf.-Rgt. 1911 & 4. Komp., bay. 13. Inf.-Rgt. 1912).

I've never seen a prussain certificate for the Kaiserabzeichen. A complete winner-list you will find here: Kaiserpreis (Schiesswettbewerb von 1895 bis 1913) – GenWiki

Best regards,

Jens

Hi,

I'm missing a registered mail, inside a jubilee medal from the Field Artillery Regiment No.15 (Strasbourg).

If someone sees this medal or gets offered, please contact me.

Thanks and regards Jens

Hello!

The Rangliste can´t help; he wears is own uniform, so he´s not attached to that unit. He´ll be a member of an official visit of the german army. I´d like to know the reason!

Hi Andreas, I think so too! Thx.

Hallo Prussian,
maybe probationer from Whampoa Academy?
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick,

that's a good idea with the Whampoa Academy, see also Sino-German cooperation.

Thanks and best regards, :cheers:

Hello guys,

thank you very much for your great help!!! :jumping:

@Nick: great, so a 2nd lieutenant from the Chinese nationalist army! Thank you for your detailed informations!

@Rick & Andy: sorry - I forgot to tell, it's the 13. (Minenwerfer)-Kompanie from the 12. Infanterie-Regiment, on the back the picture is dated between 1926 -1930.

I have three big pictures from the Minenwerfer-Kompanie, from 1922 - 1926, from 1926 - 1930 and from 1930 - 1934.

And here a better close-up from the officers: Stab 13. Minenwerfer-Kompanie 12IR

Bataillonskommandeur (III. Btl. 1928-1930): Major Buchholz; Kompaniechef 13. (MW.)-Komp. (1926-1932): Hauptmann v. Werder.

On weekend I will check the regimentel history, maybe something is writing about a chinese officier!? (I will tell you.*)

Thanks again and best regards, :cheers:

Jens

* nothing found about a foreign officier in the regimentel history.

July 25, 2013

Hi,

I have a picture from the german infantry-regiment Nr. 12 (Reichswehr), around 1930.

Between the officiers sitting a foreign soldier (maybe from China!???).

I will be appreciate for any information.

Thanks and best regards,

Jens
