Marcin L Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Dear fellow members, Can anyone tell something about the below pictures? Like period, unit / dates? I'd really appreciate it. Kind regards, Marcin #1 #2 #3
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hi, are you sure the top one is reichswehr?
Marcin L Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 I am not sure at all. In my view, gentleman on the right looks like from post-1918 era.
Dave Danner Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 In the first picture, the officer in the middle appears to be from HR 17, since he is wearing a Husar uniform with a Totenkopf on his cap and the Braunschweig War Merit Cross 1st Class below his Iron Cross 1st Class. None of the others appear to be Braunschweigers - no Totenkopfs and no War Merit Crosses on those whose chests are visible. In the second picture, the artilleryman is wearing a medal bar with the Iron Cross 2nd Class, what appears to be the NCO's 15-year Dienstauszeichnung, and the Silesian Eagle 2nd Class. Below are the Iron Cross 1st Class and Silesian Eagle 1st Class. Maybe the uniform guys can add more details. In the third picture, medal bar is Iron Cross 2nd Class, Lübeck Hanseatic Cross, and Dienstauszeichnung.
