Saxon Landwehr Infanterie Regiment Nr. 133 photos

[Deruelle]

Hi

Over the years I managed to reunite a lot of photos from this unit LIR 133.

 

The photos come from the collection of Oberleutnant d.R. Kurt Lüder. Between parade, regimental life and others, we have a good overview of the life at that time.

There must be more photos, but it took me more than ten years to get them all together.

I am still trying to identify some of the names so I can add them to the post later.

 

Enjoy

Thanks Elwyn,

 

Have you got the name of the General who is at the left of the King FA of Saxe ?

Thanks

Hi Christophe,

 

If ObLt Lüder was in any way connected to RIR 133, my guess for the general would be GenLt Max Morgenstern Döring, Kmdr of 24 Res Div  the superior formation of RIR 133. I think I can see the general in question wearing glasses like Morgenstern Döring did. 

 

If we stick with LIR 133, then the only Saxon superior formation kmdr that remotely looked like the general in the picture would be Horst v Tettenborn of 45 Ldw Brig. v Tettenborn only became GenMj on 15.07.18 and probably would not be so highly decorated and was fighting on the Eastern Front.

 

For ObStLt Francke, the conenction to LIR was actually closer. Francke was later Kmdr of IR 179. I/IR 179 was used to form I/LIR 133]

 

Thanks

Elwyn

 

 

Husaren Officer with Flügeladjutant's aiguilette was more than likely at this point Major or Oberstleutnant Harry Freiherr v  Fritsch. He was 1 Esk Husaren Rgt 19 and was the only Husaren FlüAdj of FA III I have on my files.

 

Thanks

I always speculated Husar on the extreme left to be FrHr v Fritsch..... seems to fit

Would anyone have his Date of Birth and Date of Death?

Speaking of the Saxon Regiment 133 I found this photo of an officer of the (active, Reserve or Landwehr) Infantry Regiment 133 in my collection. Unfortunately unnamed.

LIR 133 walczyło na moich terenach  - Polska Świętokrzyskie.

Znajdujemy po nich pamiątki choćby fragment Pickelhaube.

Proszę o informację czy te zdjęcia mają podpisane miejscowości?Być może są wykonane w Polsce.

Są również cmentarze 133 LIR
