Best,Morten. That's an interesting little photo Morten, a WW1 veteran, in the Navy uniform, with an Infantry Assault Badge. Not very common, and it makes me wonder what story is behind this picture. And also without device on the shoulder loops. Edited February 9, 2021 by Odulf
dedehansen Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Odulf, I think that the badge is the Marineartilleriekriegsabzeichen. Kind regards Andreas

Odulf Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 Yes, my mistake, it's the Kriegsabzeichen für die Marineartillerie 1

LarryT Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 I think Engine. Shoulder strap is a little hard to see. Here is another photo of him in the blue uniform. Cheers, Larry 1
Odulf Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Well, if it is the Engine branch, it is rare and (to my idea) unpresidented as the obvious reference books do not mention it. The only thing that springs to mind with me is possibly a Fähnrich of the Engine branch. Intreagueing! Edited February 13, 2021 by Odulf

Hello, I have a similar photo in my collection showing Dark Green Shoulder boards. best,Morten. Hello, Here is the photo sharing Dark Green Shoulderboard in wear
Odulf Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 A pleasant meeting/fare well scene with beer at the train station in the war years. The WW1 veteran Hauptgefreiter (right) is wearing a new field grey uniform with the ribbons of the Iron Cross 2nd Class (1914) & Hindenburg Cross, and the seldom seen in wear Verwundeten-Abzeichen (Wound Badge) of the German Imperial Navy (instituted June 1918). Between them, a greenish Kleidersack/Sesack (kit bag), on top not a cel phone but a wooden label holding details of the owner. The Gefreiter (left) is wearing a very short blue Überzieher (Jacket), when issued the lower seam would be at the length of the sleeve, but it was fashionable to shorten the lower seam (and alter the side pockets). 1
LarryT Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Very nice photos Morten and Odulf.? Cheers, Larry 1
nesredep Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Hello Odulf, You have a Very interesting photo sharing a strange rare short blue Jacket.Here is My Kleidersack/Sesack with the same wooden holding on top with kable abouth the ovner. Thanks for comment Larry!? Best,Morten. 1
Odulf Posted April 8, 2021 Author Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) A nice studio portrait of a KM Gefreiter, but... the photographer took this picture in Brest (France) in 1943 and the shoulder loops (Schiffsstammabteilung der Nordsee) became obsolete in September 1939. Another example of old insignia being worn long after they were oficially expired. Edited April 8, 2021 by Odulf 1

LarryT Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Thanks for the comments Odulf and Morten. Here is a high-ranking KM Beamte official with the rank of Korvettenkapitan. The patch on his lower arm shows that he was a High Grade career Technical official. Cheers, Larry
Odulf Posted April 14, 2021 Author Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Good show Larry! Crystal clear picture of a Technischer Beamter auf Kriegsdauer (a.K.) [for the duration of war], this category was to be distinguished by the silver cord border surrounding the branch badge on the lower sleeves. Edited April 14, 2021 by Odulf

Odulf Posted June 1, 2021 Author Posted June 1, 2021 Not many motorcycles in the Kriegsmarine, but here is a BMW R35 (350 cc) with men of the Schifsstammabteilung der Nordsee. 1
LarryT Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 HI Odulf, Very nice photo. I really like motorcycle and vehicle photos.? Cheers, Larry
