Ian Sayer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I recently acquired a small collection of photos signed by various European military attaches to Poland and/or Warsaw iduring the 1930s. I am still trying to identify some of these individuals and I am also seeking appropriate biographical information so would appreciate any assistance, This one was the Czech military attache to Warsaw in 1937 Many thanks.

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 This is Col. Silvester, Czechoslovak military attache in Warsaw in 1930s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Sayer Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi Lukasz, Thanks for that. Do you know his first name? Looks a bit like Ferdnand or Ferdinand. Is Silvester the correct spelling of his surname and do you happen to have any further biographical info on him? Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, in all sources I have his surname is spelled SILVESTER, so I believe it is correct. Also in all the sources he is referred to as Col. Silvester, without the first name. Still I think Ferdinand could be the name. In 1938 the colonel of the General Staff Ferdinand Silvester was the chief of staff of the Czechoslovak 3rd Army and It could be him indeed. As of now I have not been able fo find his name anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
