oneilr Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi, I recently came across an old picture of a German military man when going through my grandpa's things. I think it may be his cousin but I am unsure. I was wondering if anyone could identify the type of uniform and the war or time period it is from so that I can better identify the person in the picture. I know nothing about uniforms so any information would be helpful. I believe the man's last name is Hoffman. I also think it may be from WWII because I remember hearing a story about a German relative being a POW during WWII, but again I am not sure. I will attach the picture. The back of the picture has so German writing printed on it that I am assuming is from the photographer that I could add later if it would help since I have a limited upload capacity. Thanks for any and all help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) The uniform is Hungarian dating to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The picture was taken by the photographer DIVALD KÁROLY fia in the Hungarian town of Esperjes around the beginning of World War I. Post it in the Austro-Hungarian section and the Gentlemen there can give you better info on the date and type of uniform.
