IrishGunner Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hardy / Chip, Nick did a domain server transfer last night. Several posts made during the transfer were dropped. Sorry for the confusion.
The Prussian Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) ... like in the german SDA and Feldgau Forum... It there a "Worldwide-Server-Update-Mania" this times? Edited February 5, 2015 by The Prussian
Chip Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 The Tresse in that Jäger photo appears to be normal line unit (ribbed metallic) Tresse. The location is odd for sure. Perhaps he misunderstood the order to reduce the length of the Tresse.Chip
Naxos Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Chip, thanks! Do you have any details on the order to shorten the length of the Tressen? I have seen the shortened Tressen on many photos of early-war field uniforms - (and own a NCO tunic with the shortened Tressen on the collar and cuffs). What I noticed is that the sleeve Tressen on Vizefeldwebel with Swedish cuffs are only present between the cuff buttons and on some tunics they are present only on the corners of the cuffs. Also it seems after 1915/16 the field-grey Tressen were applied in full length on the collars again. What does it say in the regulations about wearing the shortened NCO Tressen? Were the regulations changed again with the introduction of the 1915 tunic and field-gray Tresse? Hardy
Chip Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Hardy,Sorry, I don't know of the specifics. In reading Kraus, he mentions the shortening and shortages of materials, but gives no specific dates. It's probably in the AVBs or KMEs somewhere.Once the change to the Einheitsborte was made on August 17, 1915 via a KM order, it was only little more that a month until the full length was order to be restored. It was not until the later shortages that the papercloth braid was introduced and it was also meant for the full circumference of the collar.Chip Edited February 6, 2015 by Chip
