Odulf Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 On the shoulder straps of the KM field grey uniform, only a limited number of destinctive devices were worn. Most seen are the crossed anchors (with and without Latin letters/numbers or Arab numbers above), the winged shell on an anchor or the crossed lightning flashes with a 'schwinge' on an anchor. This Unteroffizier however, is wearing the steering wheel in metal, as for Transportation Units, an intersting variation
nesredep Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Very nice Ed.Thanks for information and sharing with us!
Odulf Posted May 12, 2018 Author Posted May 12, 2018 Yes Morten Crossed anchors were worn by Marineartillerie pre 1939, and by Schiffsstammabteilungen and Marineunteroffizierlehrabteilungen post 1939. The dark green shoulder straps were replaced by shoulder straps of uniform material after 1939. In 1939 (Verfügung vom 13.3.1939; Marine-Vorschrift 39, Nr.216) the Naval Artillery Units changed the device on their shoulderstraps, from crossed anchors to an anchor below a winged granade A nice clear picture of a pre-1939 Junior NCO (Maat), wearing the device of the Marineartillerieabteilung V (5th Coastal Artillery Battalion)

Odulf Posted August 7, 2018 Author Posted August 7, 2018 That is a very informative photo Morten! Thanks for sharing
Odulf Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 Interesting Morten, what is the source for this information about the "K" (MV, Vfg, OKM-B, OTB, etc.)?

Odulf Posted August 12, 2018 Author Posted August 12, 2018 When I read the information about the "K", both on the internet and in my books, I would consider it safe to conclude that it is assumed to be "Kanal" based troops, but this is not (yet) supported by any Kriegsmarine regulation or official order.

Odulf Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Another interesting portrait, with information. We see a Maschinen-Obermaat of the 1. Komp. Marine-Stabsabteilung Festungskommandantur LS Gotenhafen [1st Coy Navy Staff Unit of the Garrison Administration Gotenhafen - presenty named Gdynia], the photo is dated 5 April 1940. Interesting to note the crossed anchors below the letter "O" (for "Ostsee"), the early style cap with woven roundel and oak leaves. Also interesting to see his ribbon bar, which denotes that he is from Austria, with 2 medals for bravery in the Great War.
Paul R Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 A large number of these men seem to be much older than their Heer counterparts.
