The Prussian Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Hello! Do you have stuff from Hitlers regiment? He served with bavarian 16th reserve regiment "List" I´ve got a card, written by Oberstleutnant Petz, once regimental commander of the regiment
Chip Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Nice soldier artwork on the obverse. It takes lots of viewing time to find these gems! Chip
The Prussian Posted July 29, 2017 Author Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) It just caught my eyes at ebay, Chip... Unfortunately Adolphus didn´t paint the picture... Edited July 29, 2017 by The Prussian
Dansson Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 I got myself last week a Militärpaß from (Bayr.) R.I.R.16 to a soldier who got wounded at the Somme in the same place as AH. (La Barque, if my memory serves me).
The Prussian Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Hello! Would you show it, please? The regiment came to the Somme sept. 25, 1916 (Frémicourt until october 2) October 3, Adolf got light wounded by an artillery attack on an underground way. He recieved just a few scratches. October 5 he got wounded near La Barque Here you see the regimental staff (small "flag") in La Barque (taken from the regimental history): Edited July 31, 2017 by The Prussian
Dansson Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) The pass is quite interesting, he first saw frontline duty in (Bayr) R.I.R.16 from mid 1915 onwards until he got in mid 1917 a transfer to I.R.2 after recovering from his wounds he sustained at the Somme. He was wounded 17.7.1916 at Fromelles. After recovery he was sent to the Somme and was wounded 12.10.1916 at La Barque (7 days after Adolf Hitler was wounded). Recipient of the E.K.2. Reason I post first the picture of his transfers is that it was not obvious on the sales description neither the stamps he served in RIR 16 the majority of his war, but is clearly visible in his transfers and wounds as well in his combat chronicle from RIR 16. The entries seem to be mainly from the time he was in I.R.2. by the looks of the dates when the entries have been written. Edited July 31, 2017 by Dansson
The Prussian Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 Hello! Could you please show the personal page to see his date and nplace of birth? There are 168 entries in the casualty lists for a Johann Engelhardt
Dansson Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Hi, here is the page and I helped you with the links where his two wounds are listed in the casualty lists. http://des.genealogy.net/search/show/3170140 http://des.genealogy.net/search/show/4334431
The Prussian Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 Ah, ok, thank you! So he served 14 months with that regiment. I checked the regimental history. He is not mentioned.
The Prussian Posted August 7, 2017 Author Posted August 7, 2017 And another one... The front shows a fallen soldier with the words: His last journey. Dedicated to the bavarian Res.Inf.Rgt. Nr.16 "List" from H.R. Reder and C. Raundorf, Munich The reverse: List-Regiment-celebration-evening, November 28, 1915. Unfortunately, the regimental history doesn´t mention that event.
Dansson Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Nice postcard, I suppose the ground is covered in snow?
The Prussian Posted August 7, 2017 Author Posted August 7, 2017 It seems so... The card was made for the wintertime. Maybe the date is in common with the last sunday before Advent commemorating the dead. In 1915 it happened november 21.
The Prussian Posted April 26, 2018 Author Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) And two badges! 1) regimental pin (probably from the 20s or 30s) 2) Fahnenweihe (consecration of the colours) Edited April 26, 2018 by The Prussian
