    EK I, named to NCO in 1. Kampfwagen Abt


    Recommended Posts

    Yes, but facing the fact: the Spieß should be known.

    There is only one reason why this Feldwebel is unknown: he was "überzählig". But a "überzählig" Spieß? Impossible.

    For me it turns out that we maybe should think about the case "the EK is phantasy named".

    Right! The "Etatmäßige"

    And because he was the Spieß, he was not a crew member. But that doesn´t matter. The EK of the Spieß is rarer

    Indeed... I seem to remember reading that the Spieß in an armoured unit in WW2 was usually not allowed to wear a Panzer Wrapper as these were restricted to panzer Crews...

    Why is he unknown? Do you have "Stellenbesetzungen" of the A7V Abteilungen???

    If I was a buyer, i would want proof before I lay out my cash.

    As an Observer I can afford to keep an open mind.

    Stellenbesetzungen are great, but are only for a certain date... what was once week before and one week later fall through the cracks...

    See above... he is not listed as one of the officers... was however at lease 4-5 months in the regiment....

    And that is not an isolated case....
