    Hi

    I have several Platzmajore in my records. These guys seem to be not the same as higher ranking officers (like Colonels, Generals) who were Commandant of a certain town. Is a Platzmajor some sort of substitute or does he have other duties?

    regards

    "Platzmajor hei?t derjenige Offizier, der dem Kommandanten oder Gouverneur gr??erer St?dte

    oder Festungen zugeteilt ist und der in dessen Auftrag den Garnisons- und Wachdienst regelt.

    Der Platzmajor gibt die Parole und die Befehle aus, ordnet manchmal auch die Einquartierung

    der Garnison und durchmarschierender Truppen.

    Fr?her war der Platzmajor stets auch ein Major, sp?ter mitunter auch ein Hauptmann. Er stand

    in einem ?hnlichen Verh?ltnis zum Kommandanten wie ein Adjutant zum Truppenkommandeur."

    ... I think it's understandable - otherwise somebody can translate it! :rolleyes:

    Thanks and best regards,

    Jens
