Michael Johnson Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Got this postcard as a freebie from TomY.Since German uniforms are not my area of expertise, I would appreciate some expert identification.Something about the uniform makes me think it's post 1918 and pre 1939.

Gordon Craig Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Michael,You may be correct. It certainly looks like a Wiemar era uniform. If there is a black Weimar style eagle in the wreath then that is the correct period for this photo. Here is a picture, but not a very good one because I had to crop it from a small picture in a book, that should give you an idea of what tou are looking for on the cap.Regards,Gordon Edited March 12, 2008 by Gordon Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I would second the Weimar option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Reichsheer indeed, probably after 1923 (when they got uniforms sorted out). Rank of Obergefreiter. If you can zoom in on the straps, that will reveal regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Thanks all, will have to get the lens out.Lens out and returned. Definitely an eagle on the cap badge, but the shoulders are turned at an angle so that nothing is visible.
