Chris Boonzaier Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi, thanks, thats a new one! What would that mean in this context? All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 That is for me difficult to explain in English. He had no military training, see No. 11 in his Militärpaß > militärisch nicht ausgebildet But he was studying something, and that ended in May 1917. He could now be a civilian Ingenieur [later called Ing.(grad)], or, on a higher level, Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.). Since 01.06.1917 he received provisionally (auf Widerruf) the rank "Hilfsingenieur", since 01.08.1918 provisionally the rank "Ingenieur auf Widerruf". All that as civil servant candidate (Beamter auf Widerruf). Limited up to the demobilization (längstens bis zur Demobilmachung). He left the Army on the 31.12.1918 (Demobilmachung). A short time later, as a civilian, he acquired the higher qualification "Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften" > Dr.-Ing. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
