Daniel Krause Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 is the name Siegfried mentioned at the backside? Would guess, it would be Hermann from IR 30. Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yes, it is mentioned. I guess this one would fit: Oberstleutnant (E) 01.03.38 THOMA Siegfried (Stab 3.Armee Korps) Oberst (01.04.41) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 hmpf. confusing... DAAAAVE, can you help? I have the IR 30 guy with the HOH3X as Hermann, Siegfried, acc. my list is the DR 21 Officer with the Zähringer Löwen and no HOH3X...

Dave Danner Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Yeah, the name and picture are mismatched. I assume that they were brothers, but I am not certain. Thoma, Hermann *20.6.1874 in Domäne Uszpiaunen bei Pilkallen 21.11.1896-2.11.1918 im IR 30, 1.9.14 le.verw. mit der 5./IR 30, nach dem 1.WK OTLaD in Münster i.W. Listed as Oberst a.D. in the 1939 Münster Adreßbuch. Thoma, Siegfried *22.7.1880 in Domäne Uszpiaunen bei Pilkallen 1.7.1902 als Fahnenjunker in das DR 21 eingetreten, Lt. mit Pat. v. 19.10.02, ... Maj.a.D., OTL(E), Oberst. The picture is Hermann. He has the Centenarmedaille, for which Siegfried was too young, and the wound badge, and he lacks Siegfried's BZ3bX and TM4. Also, if the picture was taken after 2.10.1936, an E-Offizier would have the Wehrmacht DA instead of the Prussian one. I would guess Hermann was an Oberst z.V./z.D., and one of their nephews or nieces just wrote the wrong uncle's name on the back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccj Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 It appears Theodor Duesterberg was a general staff officer. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello , Lieutenant Colonel Duesterberg served during the First World war in the Kriegsministerium , he was Chief of the Verbuendete Armys Section. in the picture he wears the gold kragenlitze of the officers seconded to the War Ministry If you looks well the litze,you can note the Blumenmuster pattern identical to those of the General staff but in gold instead of silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I am looking for a Leutnant Vahl from the 5. Niederschlesisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 154, HOH3X (Oberleutnant 1 Januar 1924, retired 1925?)... does anyone have a first name? He seems to be the one or two year older brother of Herbert Ernst Karl Vahl (1896--1944), at last SS-Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Waffen-SS in WW II. Thanks!
