Guest Rick Research Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 All I can say instantly is that Leutnant Radtke of Inf Rgt 48 survived the war and was demobilized as an Oberleutnant aD. Wartime seniorities for Prussian Leutnants of infantry involve searching through THOUSANDS of officers since "seniority" was first temporary (when "ernannt") and often not made permanent ('mit Patent") during the war-- but as often happened, it WAS-- so they are in two different places in the successive annual Seniority Lists. By rank date and no index.I don't have time to search through all that.He's not on any of the award rolls that we have transcribed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Yes. Werner Freiherr von Schleinitz (born Cunersdorf 25 April 1864) from Grenadier Regiment 12 took command of Inf Rgt 48 on Christmas Eve 1914. He was killed in action 3 weeks to the day after signing this document, leaving widow Edeltraut n?e Freiin von Tettau. They had no children.

Guest Rick Research Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Radtke was commissioned Leutnant with Patent (but no seniority) 10 August 1914. Still that date and lack of formalized seniority on 1 January 1919 so he would have been demobilzied as charakterisiert Oberleutnant a.D circa March-April 1920.Thanks to the wretched Prussians not showing first names...there were THREE infantry Radtkes who survived the First War and ONE of them was a Major (E) 01.03.38 #11 on Staff of Ist Army Corps in January 1939, promoted Oberstleutnant (S) 01.11.43 #19 on Staff of General Command XVIIIth Army Corps in May 1944.
