Freiwillige Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Could you please help with identifying these two photos of Sanitaetssoldaten? Period, uniform, possibly rank? I don't have any idea though they were from a lot of WW1 German portraits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freiwillige Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Photo no.2. The same question. Many thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I believe these are both post WWI photos, most likely from the 1930s. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freiwillige Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks for the hint! By the way any ideas where I can find some info regarding medics' uniform and insignia of Weimar period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historyfan Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi, I'd say the first one isn't a soldier but rather a Red Cross man. Winfried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeikoGrusdat Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Maybe N°1 is one of these guys.... but to be honest , from this picture I am not 100% shure if he is a german.....I just can guess that other countries had similar uniforms.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is definitely a German Red Cross man and the style of the medal bar indicates a pre-1919 photo to me. He wears the standard Red Cross belt buckle, buttons, collar insignia, sleeve rank chevron, etc. Chip Edited July 24, 2010 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hi Chip, I think we have a little misunderstanding.... my photo is of course a german , he is known by name etc.... but I think about the guy in post N°1 - he is not clear enough for me with that coat - is he german?

Collar insignia and the belt buckle design seem German to me. Anyway I'm not sure, otherwise I wouldn't have posted that question here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
