What is a Kreigs-Chronik? I only know Kriegs-Chronik...?

A nice commercial token, I have one floating around here, some where - but about as common as whale ###### on the bottom of the ocean....

Yep, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, good catch

A very rare Kriegsmarine Ingenieur Offizier z.V/d.B. with Schlesischen Adler badge

Some time ago I bought this set of pictures offered on eBay. Unfortunately the vendor broke up a series and none was marked, thus not a clue about their context. But in the end, the photo where the cap talies are visible give the clue, it is Otto Ciliax as a Kapitän zur See o/b the Panzerschiff Admiral Scheer somewhere between 1936 and 1938.

Without the devices they are fine....

There you have a point Peter, but it has yet not been confirmed to be a Dutch naval sword either... The little gilted sabre on the epaulette indicates that he had been awarded with a Sword of Honour (a very rare distingtiive).

IG, 5-cm-Pak, 7,5-cm-Pak

Enclosed a painted portrait of Vice-Admiral Baron Van Capellen, RNLN, who commanded the Dutch Naval squadron in the action off Algiers during the famous bombardment by Lord Exmouth in 1816. The Prince Regent made him a Commander of the Bath and the Duke of Clarence presented a Sword of Honour to him. Can any of the Gentlemen confirm that the sword he is wearing, is this Sword of Honour?

Kriegsgerichtsrat Gaul, 1. Mobile Etappen Kommandantur II B ....

To me it is not evident that the first letter is a G, it may also be a H, S or B. The second letter can be an R but also a U The third from behind may be a Z, but also a P... See how many combinations you can make with these letters

He could have been one of the cadets from the Infantry School in Munich, in 1923. The absence of any other ribbon or Abzeichen indicates that the portrait dates between 1935 and about 1939. So by 1940 he could have made it to major or up. I've been through my Army lists, but no luck.
