Söderbaum Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hi I am looking for possible added information regarding Hptm x Poser..! He originally belonged to FAR 20 and was promoted to Hptm on 8 Nov 14. In Nov 1915 he become commander of AFA 212 joining in from FFA 17. AFA(FAA) 212 was a newly establish flying unit within 3 Army. He later took over the command of FAA 206. After mid 1917 I lost the track of his units. This is all information I have Any added information is welcome Gunnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenS Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 All I can add is that he survived the war; the Ehren Rangliste lists him as an M aD in 1926. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 He was awarded the Saxon Albert Order knight 1st class with swords 15th of june 1915 Greetings Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Söderbaum Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thanks both Seems that this Hptm Poser is hard to identify in more detail, despite high awards and that he was commander of several flying units in the War. I assume that it does not exist any information from FAR 20 which might be his home regiment.... Gunnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Söderbaum Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hi folks I am still hunting for possible hints to identify Hptm x Poser from FAR 20. Also in 1918 he served within the Fliegertruppe. I think he was born around 1883. Gunnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soderbaum Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hi again It seems rather certain that his first name was Erich and that he died sometimes during 1941 as an Oberst in the Luftwaffe. But I still search information of his date and place of birth and possible confirmation of his first name. He dont have any file in the Freiburg archive.

Ulsterman Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I am amazed that ARB or Glenn haven t turned him up. I am going to print this out and send this off to the research Gnomery and see what happens for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 He is only listed as "Poser, E." in the Berliner Adressbuch during his time at the Kriegsakademie. He didn't have an entry in the Adressbuch der Residenzstadt Posen during his time in the regiment, at least in the four different address books I checked. I don't know why; other officers did.

Glenn J Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I can only concur with Dave as I have checked the same sources. One has to accept that there will always be cases when it will be just about impossible, given the paucity of surviving Prussian records, to pin down something as simple as a given name, especially for a prewar 2nd Lieutenant who only served in one regiment or independent battalion which does not have a published Stammliste or was garrisoned in a city without an available Adressbuch. Even then, many officers chose to only be listed by their rank and surname in those Adressbücher that are available. As Andy and Dave know all too well, it can take years to even eventually stumble across the first names of Majors and Colonels!

Mattyboy Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hi, Does the Saxon Albert Order award roll show which Flieger-Abteilung he was serving in? Thanks, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
