dedehansen Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Hello Gents, recently I got this Portrait, I´m not sure if it is Alpenkorps or Freikorps. Every help apprechiated.
dedehansen Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 Hello Gents, from a member of the german fprum SDA I was told, that it is a member from the Freikorps. There are two possibilities either Freiwilliges Jäger Bataillon von Kirchheim or Freikorps Bergmann. Regards Andreas
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 A tough call, but I dont think Alpenkorps with the collar badges. On th other hand, didnt most Freikorps remove the Bavarian/Prussian/Saxon cockade after the war?
Chip Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 He is also not wearing any shoulder straps, which to me is an indication of a Freikorps unit. Chip
Alpenkorps1915 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Does the reverse tell any date? I have seen men wearing 2 Edelweißbadges on their collar in 1915, so it's not impossible.
