jaba1914 Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Navy d.S.I = der Seewehr 1. Aufgebot d.S.II = der Seewehr 2. Aufgebot Army d.L. = der Landwehr Msch. d.S. II = Maschinist (Navy) Strm. D. S.

JohanH Posted August 4, 2023 Author Posted August 4, 2023 Thank you very much with your help! You truly are gentlemen! I am far from an expert, but is this really correct? Lt.d.M.I.d.R.m = Leutnant der Reserve der Matrosenartillerie I would have guessed it would be Leutnant der Marineinfanteri der Reserve or something. Would Ober Bts. Mt. d.Ldst be Ober-Bootsmannsmaat der Landsturm? Or what does Ldst mean? I might ask some more questions about abbrevations later. Not necessarily ranks but more about troops, regiments and such. Should I create a new topic for that or continue here?
jaba1914 Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 The correct writing is Leutnant der Reserve der Matrosenartillerie Ldst = Landsturm But I don't think that an Ober-Bootsmannsmaat der Labsturm is correct. Maybe it is a misstake. KR Alex
