Coastal Artillery 1934-35

a Oberhoboistengast (musicians career-one stripe-like obermatrose) would he have the flaming shell on his shoulder boards or the musicians lyre. Remember this is 34/35.

Kriegsmarine Reserve Officers Uniforms

Was there any difference between regular Navy uniforms and Reserve Officers. How could one tell when both were wearing a Reefer Jacket?

Karl-Jesko von Puttkamer

Thank you for one of the answers Ritter! I had read somewhere that Karl-Jesko was related to Otto von Bismarck on his fathers side. Perhaps his Great grand father. For awards I have him receiving the 1914 Iron Cross IInd class. The Baltic Cross 1st class and the Goldenes Parteiabzeichen. But thats i...

Karl-Jesko von Puttkamer, Naval Adjutant to Fuhrer

I have three research questions concerning Karl.
1) What decorations did he receive?
2) Was his father the governor of the Cameroon's?
3) Was he related to Otto von Bismarck?

Gruss Gott Halder; Ja, the outcome remains the same, but the different paths one takes to arrive there gives a different perspective to the age old question of WHY? I myself am looking for a naval view. Hope your research includes multi aspects of the collapse. Please contact when book is published....

publishing history book

Gruss Gott Halder:
You said it was twelve years in the making? My question is how do you know when it is complete? When do you say, I will check no more sources, it is done, das ist alles, dass ist die Ende! Let me know when it comes out.
