The Prussian

It´ s really a must! Sometimes it will be offered at www.eurobuch.com

Chris, I mentioned that book a few times here in the forum. But maybe you didn´t recognize it...

Anyway, the index of that books lists only the german units, but some foreign units are also in the book!

I attached an index,created by myself, about the german-allied units. Fat written numbers are western front

Hi,

Here is a Marine dog tag and another one of the same man but I don't know the meaning of "L.J." (do you have an idea ?).

Stephan

Hi Stephan!

Maybe this dog tag was used after the war for a Freikorps (L.J. = Landesjäger ?)

Hello Andreas!

The I.Ers.Komp./IX.AK was set-up in Altona. It came to the Ers.Btl./Res.Inf.Rgt.76. One platoon came to the Brig.Ers.Btl.Nr.33, and became later MG-Kp./Inf.Rgt.362

Hallo Andreas ! Die beide Fotos finde ich klasse ! ... obwohl ich habe das Gefuehl , dass sie aus dem gleichen Fotoalbum ausgeschnitten sind . ... oder ..?

Vielleicht hast du mehrere davon .

Hi Kornel!

Nein. die habe ich aus verschiedenen Auktionen

Hello!

For Lippe we had two kontingents.

Lippe-Detmold (Inf.Rgt.55)

Schaumburg-Lippe (Jäger-Btl.7)

Yes, of course. The bataillon was formed in 1916. The list only shows the weapons they had in 1918. My small picture about the tactical signs are from 1914. But I only wanted to show, that the arrow with the circle was named Feldhaubitze (96).

Fußartillerie is a very special thing, like engineers. I don´t think, that we´ll ever have a list, which shows each unit with every single gun during the war.

I have no idea, Andy. I pulled it off a Google search.

I wish I had your "close up" of the FussArtl. officer with the periscope in your other topic.

Oh yes, but unfortunately I love that photo too...

Can you recognize the shoulder board of your picture?

Here I have two nice close-ups

Nice picture! What´s that collar? Kürassier?

Hello IG!

Yes, you´re right! That list from the Ehrenbuch which shows the units of 1918. There is also a list from 1914. For the schwere Feldhaubitze we have the "arrow with the circle".

In the 1914 list the arrow with the circle is named "Feldhaubitze (96)" I don´t know what the 96 stands for. Right now I don´t believe in quantity, because the other weapons don´t have such a number

Hello IG!

Yes, you´re right! That is list from the Ehrenbuch which shows the units of 1918. There is also a list from 1914. For the schwere Feldhaubitze we have the "arrow with the circle".

In the 1914 list the arrow with the circle is named "Feldhaubitze (96)" I don´t know what the 96 stands for. Right now I don´t believe in quantity, because the other weapons don´t have such a number

That´s right!

I checked again the "Ehrenbuch". There is marked: schwere Feldhaubitze (96). Maybe the 96 ain´t a year (or a mistake) or a quantity.

The M93 normally was known as "schwere Feldhaubitze" without a M93, because it was the only one 15cm howitzer in that period

This is at the top of my wish list. Unfortunately, it's at the bottom of my wife's budget.

Great sentence...

I know, they ain´t cheap, but they will get more expensive each year. You better should buy them now. Like the Muther/Schirmer! I haven´t seen them for sale!

Hi IG!
Well you´re right! I also haven´t found a M96. I posted it, because I read in the "Ehrenbuch der schweren Artillerie". The was the 96 mentioned. But I think, it was a fault.

So, we can say, it will be the 93 in this case.

I will mention those books:
Muther:/Schirmer: Das Gerät der Artillerie vor, in und nach dem Weltkrieg"

Also very intersting the both books "Ehrenbuch der schweren Artillerie" (vol 1 and 2)

Is this the gun you refer to?

No. your photos show:

1) Feldhaubitze 105mm M98/09

2) probably Feldkanone 77mm, M96 n.A.

I only have photos of the Feldhaubitze M93. But I think, there ain´t no big difference to the M96

Hello!

Those Litzen are not normal for that unit. The Fußart.Btl. 62 was set-up by Fußart.Rgt.15.

The Fußart.Btl. 62 was (in 1918) equipped with the schwere Feldhaubitze 96 and was under command of the Artillerie-Beobachtungs-Schule I Ost in Groß-Auz (artilleire-observer-school I East in Groß-Auz).

There also was a aviation-observer school.

So you don´t have a fighting unit, but I think a quite rare unifirm of that school! Châpeau!

We had a short thread about that regiment in our Feldgrau Forum

Hi Eric!

Yes, that´s right. This monogram was intruduced in 1916. The white piping for infantry was worn on the M15 tunic

Hello!
I love that photo!!!!

Unfortunately I don´t have any infos about that Luftschiff.

I only know, in Allenstein was the "Militär-Luftschiffhafen" and there also was the "Feldluftschiff-Trupp Nr.16" (disolved 1917)

The LZ26 was tactically named as Z XIII. It had a volume of 25.000 cubemetres. It´s first flight was 14.12.1914 and it has been broke up august 8th 1917 in Jüterbog

"The Horten Ho XIII B supersonic flying wing fighter was developed from the Ho XIII A glider"

I agree, Bill! Maybe we have the Horton XIII A glider, because of the missing of the exhaust gas

Hello gents!

To me it is a Lippisch DM 1

It was 6,60m long and a had a weight of 460kg. In 1945 there were several "tow-attempts" . During those attempts it came up to 4000m and came down in a nosedive.

This one led the way for some post-war aeroplanes with triangle-dimensions. The americans built their first "Delta-wings" because of this DM 1.

Photo taken from: "Die deutschen Geheimwaffen" (Brian Ford), Molden-Verlag 1969

Keep going!!! There is a prize at 5000 !!!

Thanks Andy, You are doing well!!!!

Thanx Chris! I´ll do my best and carry on!
