dante Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 No he is definitely a staff officer as per attached pictures (pink staff, green admin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 OK-ranks I am not a specialist in in...but are his epalettes a bit narrow? Could he be a a technical officer of some type on the OKW staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Possibly but with the EK1&2 for WW2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Oh he was definetly some sort of combat officer in WW1-they didn't hand out the HHOx for speedy telegram deliveries. But the higher up you were-and the closer to the command center-the more likely you were (and still are) to get a medal or two. I can only fathom a Staff officer without a 4 year LS medal as a Obrstlt. dR and therefore not eligable-but what sort of chap ended up on the staff as a dR?....in 1942????/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
