Leutwein Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I will present you again the photo of Oblt. dR Otto Straßburger because in the old thread you couldn´t enlarge the photos to his whole size. Hope now that the photos will function here. Best wishes Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dwyer Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 That sure looks like beamten insignia to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yup-- and since he was holding Feldpolizei rank, that opens up questions I can't answer about Waffenfarbe and rank titles. His weird combination of medals in the other thread suggest a career enlistment NCO who left the army, joined the police, and had a very rapid rise to this level. And these same scans posted again here indicate that the THREAD is the problem with visible size-- NOT your scabs, not our computers. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leutwein Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks a lot. But is there really no chance to research him? What about Straßburger who served in "Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 17"?? Could it be him? Best wishes Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Oh I wouldn't say NO chance-- just not what we have right NOW. He wasn't the man by the same name in Pio Bn 17-- who had no awards in May 1914. Your Straßburger was an ex-career NCO with the XV "PrDA1," which would have shown in a Prussian Rank List.
