Utgardloki Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I recently went through hundreds of pictures of Wilhelm II and tried to find pictures of him in already in his times "old" uniforms/costumes and I thought some of You are maybe interested in them too And at last: what is he doing there? And watching some acrobats: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Gaumann Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Interesting to note in that 3rd image showing where the (mostly) 20th Century General's collar tabs evolved from. Never knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew that. You're right, It took I think till around 1900 that these embroiderys were used. I don't know the exact circumstances, maybe someone else knows more. Would be interesting if this was Wilhelms personal idea or from one of his staffs. Could be that he had the idea at one of those fancy costume-balls. Later on others of those Frederick the Great - embroiderys were used too for specific regiments(think of the famous picture of General von Kluck) Alexander von Kluck August Wilhelm Adalbert Oskar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
