Kriegsmarine Marinejustizrat? Johannes Marquardt

[westfale]

HI!

Does anyone of you have information about Marinejustizrat Johannes Marquardt, born 18.09.1900 at Kiel? I'm not shure about his rank and the branch, but on the picture i have he is wearing the dress of an korvettenkapitän with not really seen branch - looks like "military justice"...

It would be great to get some more information about him, so thanks very much for help

Unfortunately he isn't listed in Lohmann & Hildebrand's Die Deutsche Kriegsmarine Vol III, nor is he listed on the KM crew list site or in the Volksbund database.

Ohh - that's bad But thanks for your try to help!

Here's the picture of him with the uniform I'm not 100% shure about the correct rank...

regards

You have the rank correct. Three stripes is a Korvettenkapitän (2 & a half stripes would be a Kapitänleutnant and 4 stripes is a Fregattenkapitän). I can't quite make out the full details of the sleeve eagle on the cuff but if it is 2 stripes under the eagle than he is a 'Verwaltungsbeamte des gehobenen Dienstes'.

This is the best detailed picture - for me 2 stripes, so he must be a "Verwaltungsbeamter des gehobenen Dienstes". In this case, is the "Marinejustizrat" correct?

Thanks again

I'm afraid that the 'Beamte' area of the Wehrmacht isn't something I know much about so can't be of much help but I would think the Administrator side could cover many different branches.

Hi Westfale,

The assumptions are correct (Verwaltungsbeamter der gehobene Dienst), but Justitzbeamter had a double upturned chevron, so that's no option.

Can you be 100% sure the photo connects to the info?

The man on the picture is Johannes Marquardt, born 18.9.1900 at Kiel/Germany, according to an document with another picture of him, but the info about his position isn't verified, so there can be a misunderstood in his branch.

But why he can not be found in the KM lists? Are there no "Verwaltungsbeamte" listened?
