Freikorps versus Reichswehr....

[Chris Boonzaier]

This is quite interesting, the reichswehr clamouring for officers because the Freikorps and Grenzschutz have grabbed them all...

What was also interesting, they dont classify the Zeitfreiwilliger as Freikorps... i hought they were....

[turtle]

I think the Zeitfreiwilligen were directly incorporated into and trained by the Reichswehr, while many of the Freikorps acted parallel to the Reichswehr.

In the early 1920s many Zeitfreiwillige were university students who were trained by the army during their holidays for 6-8 weeks, without overstretching the 100 000 soldiers limit toooooo far and too long ...

Please correct me if I´m mistaken, but this is as I remember to have read about this topic a while ago.
