    Hmmm... Christophe-- I see ONE pip and numbers-- so he seems to be an Oberstleutnant. maybe a mmajor if it is some big fancy crest. :(

    How about the old general's pinback awards?

    See? I told you a close up of the pinbacks would identify him. :catjava:

    You need a nice EPSON scanner to make nice big clear scans all at once. :cheers:

    Hi gentlemen!

    A very nice pic of Ernst Bernhard von Uechtritz u.Steinkirch. Is this the same von Uechtritz u.Steinkirch who was Kommandant of Tr. ?bpl. Sennelager from 1932 - 1933?

    Many thanks for any help,

    VJK

    VJ,

    the commandant of Truppen?bungsplatz Senne was Oberstleutnant Heinz v. Uechtritz und Steinkirch. If memory serves me right, the unfortunate colonel accidentally drowned in a pond in Sennelager camp.

    Regards from Sennelager

    #166 is driving me crazy--

    the ONLY regimental officer I can find with PLM, OK1, AND MK1 was Otto Karl Hans Freiherr von Brandenstein (1865-1945) who was in Hessian Life Dragoons Regiment 23 in 1914 (with LITZEN), Pour le Merite 15.5.18 as the cavalry brigade commander in Finland... Generalmajor 18.10.18 and char Generalleutnant aD as a PLM holder on Tannenbergtag in 1939.

    But no collar Litzen! :banger:

    Nobody else! :banger:

    Hi Christophe,

    Many thanks for posting the pic of Roeder - he has been a very elusive character. He is one of the "Tannenberg" generals who received a promotion to char.General der Infanterie on 27 Aug 1939 on the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Tannenberg.

    Best regards,

    VJK
