nesredep Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Very nice Edgar! Here is a new from me,not a Kriegsmarine.
Odulf Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Some times a photo is not what it looks like at first sight. Such as this group portrait which dates from the 1930s.The men are dressed as Navy sailors, with the cap tallies KREUZER EMDEN and TORPEDO-SCHULE in Latin script, as worn between 1919 and 1930. But the man with the tally KREUZER EMDEN wears it combined with a roundel. A black-and-white roundel was worn before 1920, by the Kaiserliche Marine, it was replaced by an oval with the German Eagle in 1920 and this oval was used until it was replaced by the red-white-black roundel in 1933. However, the tally KREUZER EMDEN, in Latin script was introduced in 1925 when this light cruiser was commissioned. In 1930 the Latin script tallies became obsolete, when the tallies with Fractur script were ordered to be worn.There was, however, a tally S.M.S. EMDEN, but this cruiser was lost on 9-11-1914 and all tallies with the prefix S.M.S. became obsolete in 1919.So the tally does not match the roundel. My assesment is, that this studio portrait was a fancy-dress-party, perhaps for carnival or another happening.
Martin W Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 Still a great photo Edger.Thanks for the fine description.Cheers,Martin.
Paul R Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Here is another new!Outstanding medic and family photo.
Odulf Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) For the sake of the example, not quite a sailor of the Kriegsmarine, but a member of the Bundesmarine (1960s) with the tally3. AUSBILDUNGSBATAILLON 3.In 1955 the post war German Navy got started, wearing tallies with Fractur Schift (Gothic script), these were used for five years until 1960, when new tallies with Latin script were introduced. The roundel on the cap is red-yellow-gold. Edited September 1, 2015 by Odulf
Martin W Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) A group photo that appears to have been taken at the "Marineschule Wesermunde". Makes sense as the photographers stamp on the reverse is from a studio in Bremerhaven. Regards,Martin. Edited January 31, 2016 by Martin W

Odulf Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Nice family portrait Martin. Can you please share a detailed pic of the woman's circular closing pin? Edited February 1, 2016 by Odulf
Martin W Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 Here you go Edgar. It looks like the mother is wearing a decorative brooch ?? However,the father is wearing a party badge and an SA badge. Regards,Martin.
Odulf Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 An interesting snap shot of a German crew member of the Torpedoboot Jaguar in Morocco or Tunesia (c. 1938). Note that his local porter is wearing a canvas Royal Navy belt, with the small pouch on the right. Also interesting to see is the quality brown leather photo camera case. Many German military personnel had good quality personal cameras, which is the reason why there are so many fine photos of German military objects and subjects about.
Odulf Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Very nice Larry, in particular the badge of rate. Here are two recent "catches", Vorpostenflottille and a Funker of the Raumbootsflottille 1 (Wireless Operator of the 1st Mine Sweeper Flottilla). 1
