Ehrenrangliste 1914-1918

[Uwe S]

Hello,

in the "Ehrenrangliste des deutschen Heeres 1914-1918", pubished in 1926, are two

abbreviations: "GSt" (= Generalstab) and "GStst" (=Generalstabsstelle). Can anyone

explain the difference of these general staff positions ?

Many thanks

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

the Generalstab (GSt) is a central general staff, GrGst; or it is a general staff in e.g. a Korps or a Division (Truppengeneralstab).

A Generalstabstelle (GStst) is a position inside a general staff.

For example page 318, "L Limberger [Gstst 235. ID]".

It is meant, that he had been in the general staff of the 235. ID, on a not specified position (-stelle) in the staff.

Uwe
