Bruno Czerwinski (later Rothardt), Dr. med., SA-Sanitäts-Gruppenführer, SS-Brigadeführer

[Deutschritter]

Gentlemen, this picture is allegedly from 1916 ... my question for the experts: Is he here Feldunterarzt der Reserve, Feldhilfsarzt der Reserve or even already Assistenzarzt der Reserve (his last known rank in WWI)? Thanks! One source states, in WWII he was also Generalarzt, but I cannot find a confirmation.

Hello!

As far as I see, he wears the shoulder board of an "Offizier-Stellvertreter"

[Deutschritter]

Thanks so much ... then he was still Feldunterarzt der Reserve, because this rank was on an equal footing with the deputy officer (Offizier-Stellvertreter).

Hello!

I´ve got a list of the Kriegs-Assistenzärzte (found at "Invenio") until 1918.

Unfortunately I´couldn´t find neither a Czerwinski, nor a Rothardt.

[Deutschritter]

His promotion is said to have happened in 1917, after receiving his doctorate (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg). Does the list also show the Reserve doctors? Thanks! His units were: Grenadier-Regiment „König Friedrich I.“ (4. Ostpreußisches) Nr. 5 in Danzig (Meldung als Kriegsfreiwilliger), Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 227 (Western Front), Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 232 and Reserve-Lazarett II in the Landhausschule in Heidelberg.

Hi!

It's a lange hand-written list you can download for free at Invenio.

I also can send it to you after work.

I'd need your email adress to send it by "we transfer". It's 500MB lange.

Hi Andy,

 

The Kriegs-Assistenzärzte are former Landsturmpflichtige Ärzte promoted as such for the duration of the war.

Ah, right. I didn't had time to check it this morning at 4am...

Thanks so much, Gentlemen, once again I am in awe of the vast information that can be found. ... and Glenn, what can I say ... just wow! 

[Deutschritter]

Good morning, Glenn!  

If you find time, would you please check if Dr. med. Walter Lichtschlag (1889--1969), brother of Freikorpsführer Otto Lichtschlag, was also a Feldhilfsarzt, Feldunterarzt or higher in WWI? Any information would be great.

Thanks,

Andreas

[Glenn J]

Morning Andreas,

 

Feldunterarzt Walter Lichtschlag (Landwehr-Bezirk Wiesbaden) was promoted to Feldhilfsarzt on 25 March 1917 (for the duration of his deployment in the war medical service). I find no further wartime promotion.

 

Regards

Glenn

Wonderful, thank you, Glenn!
