Soldiers in a car

[fanatyk6]

Hi,

Does anyone know to which army belonged those soldiers? Germans during WW I?

I received info that they may served in german Luftwaffe during WW I. Is it true?

What type of car is it? On the side of the car is writing nr. V.5841.

Below you can see plate with number and befor the windscreen there is a number plate with number Kz? KK38.

But letter K can be as well H.

Best regards,

Hi

Either WW1 or Reichswehr although I'd go with WW1-no Eagle and Swatika on the hats or visible on the uniform-maybe someone can be more specific

Cheers

Late World War One. The driver is wearing the leather jacket of the Kraftfahrtruppen. The Feldwebl in back is too small and blurry to see anything other than he is wearing Gardelitzen on his collar and Feldwebel chevrons on the left sleeve of his M1915 tunic.

HIi,

thanks for reply, what is it "Gardelitzen"?

Collar patches. In the Second war every member of the German army wore them, but in the Imperial army there was no insignia on collars for most units. Some technical specialist branches also wore the Guard collar patches as a sign the Kaiser favored their specialties.

I think perhaps the reason that many of the troops of the technical branch wore the "Garde Litzen" is that these specialties grew out of the Versuchsabt. of the Garde Pioniere.
