Uwe S Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited July 16, 2012 by speedytop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
