This thread should be deleted. There was a database error when I posted it first and as I was not sure if the posting has made it, I posted it three times by mistake.

Sorry.

I have absolutely no idea what nationality and what type of uniform that is:

Details:

My closest guess is "Austria-Hungarian" but ... ???

Found that photo today on a fleamarket. At home I looked closely to the spike-helmet and found it strange. Looks like there is a cockade or a hole in the middle of the eagle.

Maybe it is just a photographic irritation, strange from this angle, but I can not remember to have seen that type of helmet before.

and the detail of the helmet:

Any comments are welcome as always.

45.) In poland with his father, the description in the album tells us, that this was his father's airplane and he took the opportunity to take a flight over Warszaw. It is a french Caudron 440.

47.) His father again, together with a hungarian officer

48.) Last photo shows Achim as a Leutnant

Now You have seen 48 photos out of 1304.

Maybe You can imagine the quality of this lot.

Personally I think it is the best photographic material that I have ever seen from the HJ.

At least it is for me.

Maybe somebody can help me out with some more infos about this family.

Kind regards

Robert

After some hard negotiations I finally got 9 albums with 1304 photos of a member of the Hitlerjugend.

Before I post some photos here, I would like to tell a bit of the story.

The albums come from another collector. He has got them from the family of Achim von Tippelskirch.

Now Achim von Tippelskirch was the nephew of Kurt von Tippelskirch. General and Oak-Leaf Owner.

His father ( the brother of Kurt v.T.) was an airforce general.

I would like to find out a bit more about the Tippelskirch family.

Some more information about the airforce general.

Kurt von Tippelskirch survived the war and wrote a book about the 2nd WW in the 50ties.

But I have not much information about his brother and the rest of the family.

These 9 albums have some outstanding photos. They start about 1934 with early HJ pictures. The majority of the photos is between 1936 and 1938. Many HJ-camps, travels in germany and italy. Normal duty and so on. They end in 1941, when Achim v.T. was a Leutnant in the artillery branch and was in russia.

1.) Young Achim v.T. sitting on the shoulders of a younger comrad.

2.) Some early HJ-Leaders

3.) Leader of a HJ-school, name was HALLER

Hello Chip,

thank You. That is a beautiful collection of shoulder-boards !

Just one more question - which federal state was the Garde-Grenadier Rgt. 3 K?nigin Elisabeth ??

Not bavarian, we had no queen never.

Thanks again

Robert

The big "E" is for railway engineers, right ?

What about the crown ?

Is it possible to name the unit ?

Kind regards

Robert

This badge for remembrance of the Rekrutierung of the regiment 78 came into my hands

The material is a very thin metal,

The medal says on front: Wilhelm II. Deutscher Kaiser K?nig von Preussen

and on the back: Zur Erinnerung an meine Rekrutierung

Can anyone give me a date when were these used ?

Who issued them ? The regiment itself ?

Are they common ?

Kind regards

Robert
