Chris Boonzaier Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 When I have my Horse Doctor finished, at least his tunic, what would I need to make a good display? Would they have a regular stethescope around their necks, or were there special animal ones. I guess he would not need binoculars... but maybe a pistol? I have no idea how a vet would look... Was there a special Picklehaube? Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) - I think a Rossarzt wore black collar patches. Here is a picture of another Jewish Veterinaeroffizier Bruno Türkheimer Here is an interesting article about him: http://www.badische-zeitung.de/elzach/er-musste-weg-weil-er-ein-jude-war--76995218.html Edited June 5, 2014 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi, Ironically we always say, we collect this so the men are never forgotten, history is not repeated etc. etc... In a small round with some german collectors i mentioned how fantastically intersting the tunic was, and when i said it was to a Jewish officer one collector said "Hyuck, Hyuck... snigger.... burn the damn thing!" Shows that people can learn... and never learn..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Regular officer's Pickelhaube in your case a Dragoner Officer's Pickelhaube no, an infantry pattern helmet with round front peak as confirmed in the uniform regulations for the officials of the Prussian Army of 5 October 1908. Gold fittings and circular spike base with domed chin scales. Modified by the AKO of 21 March 1910, appendix 2 which stipulated the removal of the Beamten shield on creation of a corps of veterinary officers.

Glenn J Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 A nice Döbrich-Steglitz plate from the voluminous (1359 pages) history of the German military veterinary service showing uniforms worn in WW1. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks a million, the plate is fantastic, it shows a set of M15 Litzen would not be out of place on my M10 jacket. I guess an infantry Picklehaube with a green cloth cover will be the easiest and cheapest way to go. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I intend, when the tunic is finished, to make a small pilgramage to his grave in Berlin. I think it will be a nice gesture.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Chris. It would be more than a nice gesture. And yes there are "Unbelehrbare" or those who will never learn ..... Bernhard H. Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Here is a picture of another Jewish Veterinaeroffizier Bruno Türkheimer nice shot of Dr. Bruno Türkheimer. He was commissioned as a Veterinär der Reserve on 2.11.15 (without a Patent) whilst serving with Feldluftschiffer-Abteilung 14. Interestingly, though commissioned a couple of months after the September 1915 uniform changes introducing collar Litzen, he is pictured with the earlier collar patches. Listed in the 1928 directory of veterinarians as a vet in Elzach. Regards Glenn Edited June 5, 2014 by Glenn J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
