Chris Boonzaier Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Does anyone know the first name of Hauptmann Ritter von man, apparently of the 21st bavarian Infantry Regiment? I assume he must have had a number of Higher grade Bavarian awards? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Chris, I am assuming you are referring to Ferdinand Ritter von Mann Edler von Tiechler who was in the Reichswehr 21. (Bayer.) Infanterie-Regiment and later Generalmajor? I believe his highest Bavarian decoration was a BMV4X. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccj Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 looks to me a ww1 era tunic to me. What year was he promoted to Hauptmann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 He was Oberleutnant in 1917... Was in various bavarian Regts, in Turkey, then in the MW section of Freikorps von Epp... maybe a wartime photo, and someone did the notation on the back years later when he was a Hauptmann. Unfortnately not possible to see on the shoulder boards if he was a Hauptmann when the photo was taken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn J Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Promoted to Hauptmann in 21. (Bayer.) Infanterie-Regiment on 1.2.23 (22) Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Here is a picture of Ritter v. Mann in regualtion Reichsheer uniform. It was not unusual in the formative years of the Reichsheer to see the continued use of former Imperial items of clothing to even include the kleiner Rock and Überrock.
