The Prussian Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Hello!I need help to ID the uniforms of the men around the german officer.Note the chevrons. Unfortunately the arm-patch is invisible.The reverse is only marked with "Post Card", nothing else.Thanks a lot i n advance! Sory, I´ve got problem with the photo. Always an error appears... Another try...
Odulf Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 My best guess would be Denmark, between the wars.Compare with the enclosed photo
The Prussian Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Hello Odulf!No, I don´t think so. Denish uniforms had other chevrons. Because of the german officer in the middle I don´t believe in post-war era.
Bayern Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 The Prussian : I think they are finns during the year 1918 ,wearing perhaps swedish uniforms without the blue chevrons and collars two of the non german officers wears shoulder boards german style, one what appears to be a field officer strap the other, a subaltern strap . only one non german uses headgear and service belt . the cap is tipically finn . greetings Bayern .
The Prussian Posted December 19, 2016 Author Posted December 19, 2016 Hello Bayern! Finland makes sense. That could be the answer! Thanks a lot!!!!!
Bayern Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Hello The Prussian : ¡ Servitore ! ,there is a interesting site about the origins of the finnish army , formed in Germany as a Jaeger bataillon . Take a look . The Jaakaari (finnish jaegers ) and their place in the finnish army . enter all as i transcribed it .Frohliche Weinachten !!
