David M Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 HiI 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?regardsDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 "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!
