Glenn J Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Seems like a lot of guys for a peacetime corps staff when one bears in mind the the officer complement was usually seven officers including the corps commander. Perhaps the division and brigade staff officers were on hand. The Chief of Staff was Oberstleutnant Konstantin Schmidt v. Knobelsdorf. Incidentally this photograph was taken at Hermanns Denkmal just to the south of Detmold and in the VII Army Corps District.RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
