The Prussian

I recieved the original copies of the Marine-recordings. Paul Küpper is mentioned!

Gentlemen, in the documents to the trial in Lüneburg relating to the atrocities committed by the Nazis in the concentration-camp Bergen-Belsen, there seems to be a term used by a judge that reads "Congruing Officer". Have any of you heard of such a position within the British or any other army? Any helpful answers are greatly appriciated, Cheers!

De nada, muchacho. ..

Hi Chris! The bav. RIR23 belonged to the bav.16.Res.Brig. (bav.8.Res.Div.) Commander of that brigade was from 12.4.17-27.8.18 Oberst Ernst d´Alleux (*1863, + 1945) The Ehrenrangliste listed him as Oberstleutnant in bav.5.Inf.Rgt. Last service: commander of bav.16.Inf.Brig. After the war Generalmajor a.D. Leutnant: 14.5.85 Oberleutnant: 8.2.94 Hauptmann: 19.9.00 Major: 7.3.09 Oberstleutnant: 10.10.13 Oberst: 30.11.14

Hi Chris! In that era, Paul Behnke was chief of the "Marineleitung" ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Behncke ) But, under the signature stands "i.V." (in Vertretung = in place of). So we need a marine rank list from 1920...

Hello Dave! Thanks a lot again! The EKII ribbon looks like a two-parted ribbon isn´t it? (Excuse me, but in order to awards I don´t have any knowledges) The Res.Feldrgt.43 was set-up from the following units: The Lehr-Regiment of the Feldart. Schießschule built an Ersatz-Abteilung for the 5th and 6th Garde-Feldart.Rgt. Those Ers.Abt. built the Res.Feldart.Rgt.43 (and additionally the batteries 804 and 930) Tne Ersatz for the regiment came from Ersatz-Feldart.Rgt. Jüterbog (since end of sept. 1917 Ers.Feldart.Brig. Jüterbog). Because of the wounded badge, it is a late photo (probably post-war because of the covered cocarde) The Ers.Feldart.Brig. Jüterbog had two regiments: Ersatz-Feldart.Rgt. Jüterbog (1.Ers.Bttr. from Garde-Korps; 2.Ers.Bttr. from III.AK, 3.Ers.Bttr. from II.AK, 4.Ers.Bttr. from IX.AK, 5.Ers.Bttr. from VII.AK) and Ersatz-Feldart.Rgt. Altengrabow (1.Ers.Bttr. from XVII.AK; 2.Ers.Bttr. from IV.AK, 3.Ers.Bttr. from X.AK, 4.Ers.Bttr. from XI.AK, 5.Ers.Bttr. from VIII.AK

Hello Dave! Thanks for you response! Well, it seems to be difficult. No german forum could help. Probably it will be something vs. the official statutes. According to Baden awards. Don´t they all have yellow-red colours?

Hi Chris! Strümpell hadn´t been Ritter of the Ehrenlegion in the Rangliste 1909. I don´t have the 1910, but in the 1911 RL he was the Ritter and he served in the Schutztruppe for Cameroon. Probably he became Ritter for his work with his museum. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Str%C3%BCmpell

Hi Chris! Oberleutnant Freiherr v. Hadeln was later Hauptmann a.D. Her serevd in the Bezirkskommando Windhuk (Südwestafrika). The Rangliste 1914 shows him as Leutnant with the Patent 21.1.06 N2n. The signature must be Hauptmann (later Oberstleutnant a.D.) Strümpell in the Kommando der Schutztruppen im Reichs-Kolonialamt Berlin. Hauptmann Strümpell (Patent 21.1.09 Q2q) was awarded with: Roter-Adler-Orden mit Schwertren 4.Kl. Roter-Adler-Orden 4.Kl. mit Krone Kgl. Kronen-Orden 4.Kl. mit Schwertern Dienstauszeichnungskreuz Braunschweigischer Heinrich der Löwe-Orden Ritterkreuz 1.Kl. Ritter der französischen Ehrenlegion

Yes, me... Here is the cheapest offer, but I don´t know the shipping prices to the US. It´s listet only up to 2kg. The book weights 3kg. You should ask the seller. http://www.booklooker.de/app/detail.php?id=A00Q5x6E01ZZN&pid=76312&t=rtefam4rh4ekxcst The book is called "Ruhmeshalle unserer alten Armee" OR "1000 Bilder aus 25 Jahren Deutscher Geschichte" The books are divided in 4 parts. For the lists, I showed you, you need the "Abteilung I and II" Abteilung III is a description of several battles and Abteilung IV is the photo volume. Sometimes you get all parts in ONE book, sometimes you have to "collect"... That happened, because there were different publishers for the book. Important are only Abt. I and II!

Ah, ok. Thank you! I´ll contact him!

Wich Peter? We have a few Peters here. ..

I´ll check that site! Thanks a lot for showing!

Hello! Here are some infos from the "Ruhmeshalle"

No, Yildirim only shows the battle order of Pascha I and Pascha II since late 1916/1917. I try to get the battle orders of the military mission. That was a different unit. Pascha I and II were active combat troops to fight in Palestine. The military mission supported the ottoman army in engeneer, artillery, medic, forteresses and support matters.

I´m not sure, Chris, but I think, it might be large letter. It could be an E or an F. To me it seems like an "Fü"ö. Something with "Führung"??? I still need a list of all units that served with the military mission. I haven´t found a list until now.

Hello! I recieved this wonderful photo! We see a group of german soldiers in Turkey. In the text a "Türkenbatterie" is mentioned. What about the helmet-band? It seems to be red (that would be cavalry - IF the colours haven´t been changed...) I´d like to know if the unit was from the german-military-mission or from the asian-corps. What could the unit stamp be? I only can read "Kospoli" (another name for Konstantinopel) Thanx a lot!

Hello! I need help in identifying the ribbons of this german soldier of Res.Feldart.Rgt.43. The wounded badge is clear, but what about the ribbon and the band in the buttonhole? The unit was formed in Jüterbog (Brandenburg), so I assume, he was prussian. Note the covered imperial cocarde Thanx a lot!

Yes, probably... I just wanted to mention, that Enkel might had to do with people from the FK Pfeffer too

Hello! Probably it´s called "Verstärkungs-Kompanie" The regiments or bataillons had "Ersatz-Komp." What makes me puzzled, is the 13. The Inf.Rgt.13 always was in the west. In Courland there was a Freiwilligen-Regiment Libau with three bataillons.Set-up march 1919 from the Freiw. Btl. 6,9, and 5. It became in september 1919 a Reichswehr-Btl. Libau. But it became later II./RW-Inf.Rgt.62. That could be interesting! The two bataillons Lichtschlag (II. and III./62) formed the RW-Rgt.107. They were reinforced bei the Bataillon Libau (became II.Btl./62 AND the Freikorps Pfeffer! End of may 1920 the regiments 61 and 62 became parts of the 7.RW-Brigade. The RW.Inf.Rgt.13 was part of the 7th brigade too!

Here is the casualty list of the regiment: Totenbuch des Garde-Reserve-Pionier-Regiment (Flammenwerfer) Name Year Adamczewski, Paul 1918 Ahäuser, Heinr. 1916 Ahlemeier, Heinr. 1916 Ahrens, Franz 1917 Albrecht, Josef 1918 Andreas, Karl 1917 Andvikh, Otto 1916 Appel, Bernhard 1918 Appel, Otto 1916 Arens, Georg 1916 Arlet, Aug. 1918 Arnold, Franz 1916 Asmussen, Nikolaus 1918 Bach, Peter 1918 Bachmann, Hermann 1915 Bachor, Johann 1916 Baillen, Otto 1918 Barisch, Paul 1918 Barkilla, Walter 1916 Barner, Hermann 1918 Barth, Gust. 1917 Barthel, Theodor 1915 Bartholomäus, Otto 1918 Bartkowiak, Gust. 1917 Basler, Richard 1918 Bath, Wilh. 1918 Bathen, Otto 1916 Bauernfeind, Friedr. 1918 Baumstark, Franz 1917 Baurs, Robert 1917 Beaury, Peter 1916 Bechert, Paul 1918 Becker, Max 1918 Beer, Alfred 1917 Behrendt, Otto 1918 Beier, Hermann 1916 Beig, Georg 1916 Bender, Vinzenz 1917 Benkmann, Otto 1916 Berens, Ernst 1916 Berg, Hermann 1917 Bergemann, Adam 1916 Berger, Karl 1916 Berger, Oskar 1918 Bergmann, Leo 1917 Bethmann, Reinhard 1918 Bettge, Alfred 1917 Beuse, Wilh. 1917 Bex, Josef 1916 Bienick, Alois 1918 Binder, Wilh. 1916 Birtholz, Johann 1916 Bisoke, Reinhold 1916 Bjerring, Karl 1917 Blachowski, Franz 1916 Blobel, Johannes 1916 Blume, Karl 1916 Bocian, Franz 1918 Bock, Franz 1918 Bock, Rudolf 1917 Böhl, Robert 1916 Boehme, Kurt 1916 Bölke, Albert 1916 Bölltner, Otto 1916 Börner, Ernst 1916 Böttcher, Hermann 1916 Boge, Wilh. 1918 Bogisch, Willi 1916 Bogisch, Willy 1917 Bohl, Ferdinand 1917 Bohm, Gust. 1916 Bohmann, Anton 1918 Bohne, Oskar 1916 Bojahn, Willi 1917 Bolle, Ernst 1916 Borchers, Heinr. 1918 Borger, Philipp 1915 Brabender, Heinr. 1917 Brackhage, Karl 1917 Bräuligam, Rudolf 1918 Brandenburg, Willy 1916 Brandes, Johann 1918 Braun, Otto 1918 Braune, Otto 1916 Breitenbach, Karl 1917 Brendel, Georg 1918 Brendel, Wilh. 1918 Brey, Georg 1917 Brischke, Hermann 1918 Brock, Emil 1916 Brodöhl, Wilh. 1916 Brösche, Aug. 1918 Brück, Karl 1916 Brückmann, Karl 1916 Brummer, Richard 1916 Buchfeld, Johann 1918 Buchmann, Ferdinand 1916 Bukowski, Paul 1916 Bundesmann, Herm. 1916 Bundrock, Gust. 1917 Burczyk, Johann 1916 Burghardt, Josef 1918 Burkhardi, Otto 1916 Butz, Max 1916 Butzlaff, Felix 1916 Carstens, Karl 1918 Chall, Rudolf 1917 Charpentier, Ludger 1917 Christians, Otto 1918 Christiansen, Wilh. 1916 Clever, Wilh. 1916 Cött, Willi 1917 Colonius, Rudolf 1917 Dahlecke, Max 1916 Dau, Martin 1916 Daumer, Heinr. 1918 Davids, Hans 1918 Dechant, Fritz 1916 Decker, Wilh. 1916 Degener, Emil 1916 Delhey, Josef 1918 Deligas, Otto 1916 Dellori, Friedr. 1916 Denecke, Hermann 1918 Diebold, Michael 1916 Diederich, Ernst 1916 Diedtmann, Karl 1916 Diehl, Ernst 1916 Diels, Wilh. 1915 Dierks, Wilh.

Heres is the text of the card: Liebes Bäschen, Meinen Aufenthalt an der Maas habe ich mit der Somme vertauschen müssen. So muß den V. ohne mein gütiges Zutun fallen. Aber auch hier gibts tüchtig Arbeit. Laß bald mal was von Dir hören, gell! Herzl. Grüße, Dein Vetter August Dear Bäschen (Bäschen minimization of Base = female cousin) I had to change my stay at the Maas with the Somme. So V. (> Verdun) might fall without my kindly encouragement. Here it will be efficient work too. Keep in touch soon, right. (Gell or gelle is south-german word for "right" or "o.k.") best regards, your cousin August

I said, Lt. Hornung was mentioned twice in the regimental history. (see attachment) Here are also two maps of the villages Berry-au-Bac and Le Godat (map 1) and Demicourt and Boversies on map 2 (correctly: Boursies!)

Hi Bob! He writes only Hornung, Lt., but at the end of his letter he subscribed with August. If Lt. Hornung stayed with the 11th company, maybe your father served with him??? It´s brilliant that stil have the Militärpaß from him! Did you show it almost here? The stamp is from the Feldpoststation 45. I have a list of all of them in 1918. FPS 45 was located then in Saultain, Valenciennes.

That would be brilliant, Bob! Thanks a lot in advance! Here is the card. I wanted to show it, when it arrived, but I can take the ebay photo of the seller too (the photo of the card, not from the seller , the card is payed... You can read "Hornung, Lt." in the 3rd scan in the post-stamp.
