den_stokes Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Господа, добрый день. И сразу тысяча извинений за полную безграмотность в теме Решил наконец заняться определением некоторых очевидных элементов униформы, но пока дается с трудом. Буду время от времени подкидывать в эту тему вопросные фотки, дабы не захламлять ветку. И вот первый вопрос: Две фотографии одного человека, как я понял, на первой он в чине вицефельдфебеля ( могу ошибиться), на второй уже лейтенант. Можно ли сказать что-либо еще? Заранее спасибос Уважениемden_stokes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR43 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Hello!The first photo shows a Feldwebel. I know the translation of ranks could be different (because of the use of an translator)The official translations of NCOs were (according to the book: Vocabulary of german military terms and abbreviations, printed July 1918 by the General Staff (Intelligence) of General Headquarters):Unteroffizier = CorporalSergeant = Senior CorporalVizefeldwebel = Vice-Sergeant-MajorFeldwebel = Sergeant-MajorHere he has two braids upon the cuffs. That means, he is a company Sergeant-Major The 2nd photo shows him as an officer, probably a Leutnant der Reserve (Lieutenant of the reserve).A lot of of higher NCOs became officers of the reserve during the war.My grand-uncle joined the war as a volunteer, became Gefreiter (Lance-Corporal), later Vice-Sergeant-Major of the reserve and then Lieutenant of the reserve.

Andreas, Thanks a lot! yep, Feldwebel is a common name for using. I see now where my mistake was. Due to ranks in Wehrmacht i thought Feldwebel is a lower rank among "Unteroffiziere met Portpee". Stupid mistake of course. Thanks again!All the bestDen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR43 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 But the system of ranks became confused...In the imperial army we had:Gefreiter, Obergefreiter (only heavy artillery), Unteroffizier, Sergeant, Vizefeldwebel and FeldwebelToday we have:Gefreiter, Obergefreiter, Hauptgefreiter, Stabsgefreiter, Oberstabsgefreiter, Unteroffizier, Stabsunteroffizier, Feldwebel, Oberfeldwebel, Hauptfeldwebel, Stabsfeldwebel, Oberstabsfeldwebel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
den_stokes Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Доброго дня, господа. Прошу помощи в атрибуции. Петлицы видятся необычными. Фото сделано в Шпандау. Я знаю один полк, что был расквартирован там, но не уверен, что это именно он. Заранее спасибо С Уважением den_stokes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

den_stokes Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Good day Gentlemen, Here's one more photo with quite remarkable collar tabs. I swear I was searching for them everywhere, they're still unknown to me. Any ideas please? All the best Den Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR43 Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hello! Heavy (Foot) Artillery Regiment N°9 in Köln-Wahn. The coloured collar tabs belonged to the "Litewka" (another kind of tunic. The white stripes indicated the ranks. One strupe: Gefreiter, two stripes: Obergefreiter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
