Chris Boonzaier Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 This very early photo of the MG section of Detachment Berthold is pretty interesting, not least because of the cammo MGs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolewts58 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I don't dispute that this is a Freikorps Grenzschutz MG unit which happens to have the name Berthold. But, it isn't the same as Detachment Berthold (more correctly Eiserne Schar Berthold) which wasn't formed until April 1919 by ace Rudolph Berthold. At the time of this photo, Berthold was at home convalescing from a plane crash in August 1918. Edited January 14, 2017 by bolewts58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi, good to know!! i was was puzzled at the Geographic discrepency when I found the FK Berthold name as these guys were very probably on the Southern Border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
