elbavaro Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 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".
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 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...
The Prussian Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 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". Why is he unknown? Do you have "Stellenbesetzungen" of the A7V Abteilungen???
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 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... http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/63026-fusilier-regiment-73-leutnant-fritz-haverkamp/ 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....
elbavaro Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 You are absolutely right Chris. Thats the reason why there are better "lists". ;o)
The Prussian Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 What are those "better lists", please? Do you have originals papers of that unit??? That would be great! Oh, just right now I recognize this is my 1000. thread!!!!!!
