There are a few ofivers named Frobenius, but only one Hauptmann. That´s Rudolf Frobenius.

Please have a look here:

Fill in Frobenius and/or Rudolf. You´ll find three bavarian captains

Very nice MP!!!!

Nice photo! (For us, not for him...)

Some POWs had uniforms with the prisoner company number

Hi Matt!

Freiwilligen-Landesschützenkorps

Set-up 3.1.1919 in Zossen. Combat order january in Berlin, february in Bremen and Ruhr area, may in Magdeburg.

The Korps built in june the Reichswehr-Brigade 4 Magdeburg.

Those aviators seem to be volunteers in one of the infantry units or the only cavalry unit of the corps (2./Drag.Rgt.22 from Mülhauen/Alsace)

Hi Tony!

It bloody worked!

I´ll create a monument to you, matey! Thanx a lot!

Hi Tony!

I'll try it when I'm home. One needs a doctor title to do that. ..

Hello Dave!
Call me stupid, call me dumb... but

I opened the sources and found that:

"'>"

So far, so nice. But if I change the 04221 into 04220 or 04222 (by using jpeg or jpg), nothing happens... "This page can not be found"

Hello!
I don´t understand...

My link above says another number. In this case 1250929

How can I change the page number 4221? I can´t find a "view source", and I can´t enlarge the picture.

Hi Chris! I´ m not sure, if the tunic is an original. Unfortunately I don´ t know anything about the "interieur".

Hi Chris!

It´s realy a strange one... The tunic is not an official pattern. Please have a look at the cuffs. Simplified cuffs with two buttons. The RW cuffs were "top-curved" (I don´t know a better english word for it...). Note my attachements.

The shoulder-boards look very new, even the number is missing. The yellow colour indicates cavalry, that´s right. But the Litzen look strange to me too. Those Litzen were upon a fieldgrey base, not upon a green one, like here.

It´s hard to say, but it looks to me like it could be an uniform of a theatre-set

Helo!
I agree with Chip. White pipings were worn by saxon Garde Reiter only.

Very nice tunic!

I think, the belt is missing, isn´t it?

The medals are: Médaille militaire and Croix de guerre with 1 star and 1 palm

The upper sleeve badge might be the "Insigne général por aéronautique/aérostation

He wers the pilot badge on his right breast.

His rank is a sergeant-major

Perfekt! Merci!!!

Hello!
Nice photo!!!

Here are two examples of my collection:

Hallo Stefan!
Vielen Dank für die links! Super! Habe dazu passend heute zufällig die Rangliste 70/71 bekommen!!!!

Another guess:

Aufklärungs-Abteilung 256

Set up august,26, 1939. At March,10, 1942, integrated into Panzerjäger- und Aufklärungs-Abteilung 256

Divisions-Bataillon 256

Set-up april, 21, 1943 from parts of Panzerjäger- und Aufklärungs-Abteilung 256 with two Grenadier-companies and a heavy squadron. july,26., 1943 renamed in Divisions-Füsilier-Bataillon (A.A.) 256

Tessin writes, the Regiment did recieve "Kavallerie-Tradition". I don´t know exatly what that means.

There also was a Div.Füs.Abtl.30. Since november 3, 1943, ist was called Div.Füs.Abtl.30 (A.A.), again with "Kavallerie-Tradition"

Ah, ok. Thanks, Andrew. I´m not too fit with WWII...

Because of the high number of 256, I wonder, that the AA was not mentioned in Schlicht/Angolia

Maybe an east-european volunteer?

Helo!
I´ve asked a friend of mine. He also said, it might be Aufklärungs-Abteilung. It´s strange that I couldn´t find any infos about that in my books.

The double stripes upon the shoulder straps should be "Offiziers-Anwärter"

Thank you, Chris!
Well, I got it a few years ago, but I thought, I showed it here, but I was wrong. I think I fogot to show it...

My neighbour has a sad family-history. He lost three brothers in the war. Those both and another one, who served with the Marine. Here is the last document of that estate.

I removed the adress, because it´s still the same house in which I live now, and I don´t want to make it public. I don´t know, who reads this forum too...

The Korvettenkapitän is Dr. Dralle (nov.41-jan.43)

Hello!
My neighbour (age 79) gave me the following pieces of his brother! It´s absolutely fantastic!!!!!

All medals were included. Unfortunately the Nahkampfspange is missing.

Note the star upon his shoulder straps!!!!! That is the Inf.Div.227, lead by Generalleutnant v. Scotti. The star was the personally sign of the family Scotti!

He also gave me the Frontflugspange für Auflärer, worn by his second brother. The swastika was removed, because was he POW in an american camp. He removed it, so the americans didn´t take it away

Here I have a photo of the Feldwebel of the company!

Does someone know his name????????
