erikscollectables Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I love the posting by Chris Boonzaier and others on the Imperial German forum regarding the German Stormtroops. Hope we can make something similar here for the AH Storm Troops. Unfortunately my own collection is small in this field so please help and get this going! All the best Erik
erikscollectables Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Unfortunately cannot read the number of the regiment on this card...
erikscollectables Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Probably storm troops with the combination of helmets and gas masks...?
erikscollectables Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 And the last one for now, a ring of the 32nd Division Storm Troops by the Hungarian maker Morszanyi.

erikscollectables Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Photo of a Jagdkommando, these predate the stormtroops!
Tony Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Great cards Erik, unfortunately I don't have any to add but let's hope others do. Tony
Markgraf Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 From fortepan.hu. Note the Hungarian cavalry boots, they are probably hussars. In bigger size: http://www.fortepan.hu/_photo/download/fortepan_33802.jpg
erikscollectables Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Nice one! Great with the helmets These two also wear cavalry boots and trousers I think (and a single shoulderloop at the officer to the left), not sure if they are also stormtroops? When started regular cavalry wearing helmets? From fortepan.hu. Note the Hungarian cavalry boots, they are probably hussars. fortepan_33802.jpg In bigger size: http://www.fortepan.hu/_photo/download/fortepan_33802.jpg Edited January 5, 2015 by erikscollectables
erikscollectables Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Hungarian Storm Course booklet with some comparison photo's to the Austrian one in the Stormtroop book by Mr Ortner.
Markgraf Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 When started regular cavalry wearing helmets? As far as I know, when the helmets widely introduced in the AH Army, the great part of the cavalry units were already dismounted.
erikscollectables Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 It has been a long time since there were any contributions so I'll restart the thread with a recent photo addition. Probably taken on one of the 1917/1918 Storm Courses

Von Thronstahl Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 What do you think of these guys? Storm troopers or not!?

Bayern Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Hello : The Austro hungarian cavalry received steel helmets somewhat late but by the year 1918 they were of general use . not all the cavalry was dismounted and inclusive the dismounted units conserved a troop of 25 riders . The hungarians Somogyi and Barczi in their book about the Honved : For the king and the country Kyralyert Ez Hazaert offer much information .I think that the guys included the two officers are regimental stormtroopers , rohamist of a dismounted regiment of hussars .
