IrishGunner Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Since we're in the middle of Oktoberfest, I thought I'd post some München related items... First up... A soldier of the Kgl. Bayer. Infanterie-Leibregiment. This card was posted from München in June 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Of course, Oktoberfest was not held during the years 1914-1918 because of the War. However, I'm sure Hofbrauhaus was still open! Here's a post card showing Kgl. Hofbrauhaus Kneiphof during the period. On the right, you'll see a Musikanter in uniform. Unfortunately, the card is not dated or posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 What's Oktoberfest without some blue and white flags....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 A Bavarian hero... MVK3x, EK2, Wound Badge. And an Edelweiss on his cap. This photo always makes me think that modern military berets evolved from the Imperial German kratzchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
