    Berlin - September 2013 - New References


    Recommended Posts

    Just back from my twice yearly foraging trip to Berlin and came back with some rather rare tomes to add to the collection. Some examples:

    Bekleidungsordnung für die örtliche Verwaltung der Zölle und indirekten Steuern 1913 (Customs clothing regulations). This plate showing the epaulette and shoulder board of an Oberzollkontrolleur. Interestingly, although officials, the customs Beamten wore rank stars and not rosettes like most officials.

    Die Königliche Schutzmannschaft zu Berlin 1898 - 1908. This was the supplementary volume to much more widely available first volume which cobered the period 1848-1898. Here is a nice portrait of the commander in 1908 - Polizei-Oberst Paul Hoefft.

    Dienstaltersliste II zur Stellenbesetzung des Heeres 1943. Which lists basically the former supplementary officers (E-Offiziere), pretty much the reactivated imperial re-treads. A sample page showing veterinary officers in the rank of Lieutenant Colonel is below.

    And considerably more. Unfortunately my silent and rapid overhead lightweight USB scanner had a major malfunction. However, it was during this trip that I discovered just how good the IPAD camera is for photographing pages from books.

    Chris,

    Then no. I have yet to come across a DAL that specifically lists reserve officers although DAL C lists "Kriegsoffiziere". I will have a look in the 1943 DAL C I have but it is unindexed and may take a wee while.

    Regards

    Glenn
