Oberstleutnant Schuster Infanterie-regiment nr. 369

[Joel]

Hello everyone,
I am looking for information on the career of Oberstleutnant Schuster who commanded the infantry regiment nr. 369 replacing Major Bleyhöffer from 04/02/1917 until the end of the conflict. The history of this regiment gives no information except that he was brigade-führer from 05/10/1918. So probably from the 43rd ersatz Brigade if I'm not mistaken.
If anyone can help me
thank you
Joel

Hello Joel,

 

the history of the regiment gives Schuster’s Patent date to the rank of Colonel, so in combination with the Dienstaltersliste 1919 one could see his peace unit was Infantry Regiment 76.

Hello Hoh 1851,
Many thanks. I had gone for Oberstleutnant Alfred Schuster (Kdr 19B IR) but he fell on 27 March 1918 in Flanders. So it could not have been this officer. With your precious help I have my answer.
Have a great week-end and thanks again.
greetings
Joel
