Glenn J Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Christophe,that is char. Generalmajor Wolf v. Klewitz: 23 December 1873 - 05 February 1961.Originally commissioned in FAR 10, he served in FAR 46 from October 1899 until November 1908 when he became the Adjutant of the 20. Feldartillerie-Brigade. In 1914 a battery commander in FAR 84 (since 1 October 1912), he commanded Artillerie-Regiment 1 from 1 February 1927 until retiring on 31 December 1927 when he promoted to char. Generalmajor.

Guest Rick Research Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 And a perfect example of a retiree wering a "current" uniform when he never SERVED in that uniform. He was "retired with the uniform of..." and like many such officers, seems to have decided that meant he could wear a LATER uniform after his time. On the other hand, other officers went "retro" and had uniforms made up for the old army long afterwards. There's a photo of Wilhelm Heye in a book someplace obviously taken during WW2 with a tailor-approximation of an Imperial uniform (!) that never existed-- sort of a "M1910" without pockets, but with Imperial buttons.So sometimes even the uniforms being worn are...tricks.

Guest Rick Research Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I like the added cuffs. No one will notice the color doesn't match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
