Guest Rick Research Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 No name or date on EITHER? I am fairly sure that is the same fellow-- right photo taken somewhat later and he's put on more weight. Both look pre-war to me.Left hand photo in the old pre-war fatigue drill Litewka tunic, either a Sergeant (German army title, not translation) or Vizefeldwebel. In the right hand one he is a Vizefeldwebel-- because he is wearing an officer's M89 sword with officers' portepee, which the identically uniformed rank of Sergeant could not carry that arm of rank. Too too bad no name, because Inf Rgt 32 was thoroughly covered in Meiningen's WW1 rolls. I typed enough of 'em up getting those into print!
