Hi IrishGunner! Are you sure with FAR19? The lying man has a pre-war uniform They all have a carbine (mounted troops) Most of them are much older than the left and the right one Maybe there is a brass number upon the lying mens shoulder strap, so we have the Res.Feldart.Rgt.19 But why does the lying man wearing saxon cuffs??? Because of they are quite old, I assume it is an ammo column

Oh, yes! That was too easy to see... That makes sense! The Kraftfahr-Ers.Abtl.Nr.1 was responsible for each Sturmpanzer-Kraftwagen-Abteilung. But I haven´t read anything about a Rekruten-Depot of the Kraftfahrer. But in the book "Sturmpanzerwagen A7V - Vom Urpanzer zum Leopard 2", I read, that the introduction in tanks were in Charleroi and the last driving-lessons were told in the rear areas of the front. That might be the Rekruten-Depots. Later they had Ersatz-formations in Hannover and Munich too, as well as a new "Off-road driving school" in Braunschweig (middle of 1918)

Nice? That´s amazing!!!!!! Thanks for showing!!! Here again the dates of the detachment: Order of the war-ministry to set-up two Sturm-Panzer-Kraftwagen-Abteilung at february, 15th, 1917: january, 23rd, 1917 They were set-up at september, 29th, 1917 (War ministry Nr. 815.9.17) Mobilization for both Abteilungen january, 8th, 1918 So it´s clear, that the unit was set-up before the tanks arrived. By the way. The first commanders of them were: 1.Abtl.: Hauptmann Greiff 2.Abtl.: Hauptmann Steinhardt So he left the unit, before the first A7V was built (november, 5th 1917) I agree with Bernhard, that he was "shuffled-around". Probably they planned a crew for the tanks through the Ersatz-Abteilung. But most of the crews were volunteers. So they took them, because they had a better moral...

Here a few key features: Order of the war-ministry to set-up two Sturm-Panzer-Kraftwagen-Abteilung at february, 15th, 1917: january, 23rd, 1917 They were set-up at september, 29th, 1917 (War ministry Nr. 815.9.17) Mobilization for both Abteilungen january, 8th, 1918 So it´s clear, that the unit was set-up before the tanks arrived. By the way. The first commanders of them were: 1.Abtl.: Hauptmann Greiff 2.Abtl.: Hauptmann Steinhardt I can´t wait to see the rest of the MP!!!!!!!!!!

I´m very surprised about the date 22/10/17! The first 10 A7V were set under command of the two Sturm-Panzer-Kraftwagen-Abteilungen 1 and 2 in NOVEMBER 1917!. The order was from 29.September 1917. The first A7V was ready end of october 1917 and he could be seen november, 5th 1917! I wonder your MP shows the 22nd of october!

Hello! The Ers.Abtl./Geb.Art.Abtl.1 was disbanned in Schmiedeberg by the Jäger-Btl.5 He later served in the Geb.Btl.5. This one stood under command of the 11th army since 30.12.1917. The marked Freikorps Dohna (or "Möwe") belonged to the Brigade z.b.V.5, formed 1.march 1919 with 110 officers and 2900 men. It later formed the II./Reichswehr-Gren.Rgt.53 (27.Brigade Frankfurt/Oder). Since 17.2.1920 it became III.Küstrin/Reichswehr-Schützen-Rgt.105. In may 1920 the regiment 105 was disbanned and it became I./Reichswehr-Schützen-Rgt.10

Hi Odulf! I think, you´re wrong with the unit. These pointed Litzen ("alt-preußische") were worn by: 5.Garde-Rgt.z.F. (white with a red stripe in the middle) 6.Garde-Inf.Rgt. (white with a red stripe in the middle) 7.Garde-Inf.Rgt. (white with a red stripe in the middle) Garde-Gren.Rgt.5 (yellow with a red stripe in the middle) Füs.Rgt.80 (white without any stripe) I can´t recognize a stripe, so I assume it´s Füs.Rgt.80. Here are two photos. One from Gren.Rgt.5 and one from Füs.Rgt.80
