    Maschine Gewehr Scharf Shutzen Abt 49 ,one real long name for a quite small unit :rolleyes:

    I got this paper n my collection to a Langwieler issued in Juli 1917 wich states if I am right that he has been with the MG SS Abt 49 from May 1916 to June 1917. I am now trying to find out anything about the MGSS 49 :unsure:

    I have been looking all over the net for MG SS but so far didn´t find anything, does anyone have some info or have a link to where I can find some ?

    All help appreciated...

    All the best from Imperial Sweden

    Great document - it states that before 1917 the MG SS 49 was called MG Schützen Trupp 113

    Zeugnis

    Offizierstellvertreter (Vizefeldwebel) Eduard Langwieler war vom 16. April 1916 bis 19. Juni 1917 als Zugführer in der 1. Komp. (früher MG Sz Trupp 113) MG Schützen Abt. 49 tätig.

    Im Kampfe hat er sich durch grosse Unerschrockenheit und Umsicht ausgezeichnet. Vor allen Dingen hat er es verstanden durch vorbildliches Benehmen sich die Liebe und Achtung seiner Vorgesetzten und Untergebenen zu erwerben. Die Abteilung verliert in Offz. Stellv. Langwieler einen wertvollen Angehoerigen.

    A.St.Qu, den 13 Juli 1917

    Masch. Gew. Scharfschützen Abt. 49
