A very strange thing , the man wears what looks like a Infantry Kunftigefriedens uniform , Field grey with red collar and brandenburg cuffs piped in white but with the Rank Insignias of a Oberleutnant in the Provisional Reichswehr , the stripes on the cuffs and the Shoulder cords or more properly achselschlinge , he too carries a Prussian officer Pickelhaube .

It is a rare photo of an Oberleutnant of the Vorläufige Reichswehr, the thingy is a FREIKORPS-badge, possibly Freikorps Faupel. But I wouldn´t vouch for it. It might also be a Freilorps-Formation from the former 5th Armeekorps (thanks Andy). GreyC Edited September 13, 2021 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyboy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 A very stern-looking man. The 3rd & 4th medals appear to be identical, to my untrained eye. Does anyone know what awards these are on his ribbon bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Hi, can´t say anything post 1933, he is not listed in Career Summaries - Luftwaffe Officers 1935 - 1945. The photo seems to have been taken after May 1919, or if he already wears the Adler-Kokarde, after Oct. 1919. He seems to have come from an artillery unit before he joined the Luftstreitkräfte. Maybe he served with a Artillerie-Flieger unit and after the war as Artillerie-Offizier. Best, GreyC Edited September 29, 2021 by GreyC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thanks! The photo has to be from 1925 or later as he was promoted to Hauptmann on 01.05.1925. 00.00.1928 Hauptmann im 2. Artillerie-Regiment. I think he was promoted to Major in the early 1930s, after that I lost him. No entries in Heer sources, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Maybe he never made it into the Wehrmacht? I know that there are files at the Bundesarchiv for Wehrmachtsoffiziere, I don´t know if officers who served with the Reichswehr only have also been preserved. Maybe worth a try searching there.
