christerd Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi I found this wonderful pic on a Swedish auction !! On the backside its written " Weinachten 1915 Konstantinopel" If I read this photo right he is a Leutnant z?r see , with a new ? EK II and "gallipoli star" How many officers was there on Goeben and Breslau ? Funny how theese photos can end up in all corners of the world Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 No name! There were quite a few German naval officers there who were not members of either crew, so this Leutnant zur See might have been on other duty-- possibly a submariner. He could also be a der Reserve officer-- looks a bit older than the normal 22-- and is that a tiny little dR/ dSW cross + I see in the center of his cap cockade?Notice that his Turkish star is worn with the TOP point at LEFT-- with its upside down horizontal pin (ALREADY non-Turkish made copies!!! ) in a clock's position 8:10! You'd have thought he could have figured out which side was "up" from the pin!!! :cheeky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Euuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Epson scanner..... BIG.

Gordon Williamson Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 But ------if you rotate the photo to the correct position, isn't that the tip of a normal vertical mounted pin sticking out at the bottom ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
