A couple of Questions:

1. Which branch of service?
2. Can we see some photos?
3. What career level? He could have either been low or medium career level.

A sonderfuhrer G was held to the equivalent of a Feldwebel, but of course, he had no command authority. His daily activities would have been hands on work of his particular specialty(Mechanic, engineer, remount, saddler, and etc).

In this particular case, I would say that he was most likely an electronics specialist(based upon his past experience), who worked on and maintained the communications equipment.

thanks for the info so far.

I can not upload fotos as i am not a member (like the e stand thing).

Branch of service is heer.
In ww1 he was also in the nachrichten (signals), he was a fernsprecher back than.
He served during ww1 in fernsprech ersatz kompagnie nachrichten ersatz abteilung 14.

He was only thougt in the 98k karabiner.

He was released out of service because of health issues from what i can make up.

So my gues is his specialty was technical in the nachrichten (signals) ?

His schooling says schlosser (mechanic)
ausgeubter werkmeister (chief of a workingplace,learningmaster ?).

Going off of what I can see in your reply, it seems like he most likely repaired radio equipment. I highly doubt that he was in charge of personnel at all.

I Have the same feeling as you stated.
I`m finished translating, this is what i can read and translate it is in Dutch some words i let it stay in German.

Who can tell me what his last three units were ?

The last three units could be " Wehr Wirtschafts Ersatz Abteilung"

Hi Gerdan ,

Thanks for your reply.
This is the units that are testing the new equipment am i translating this correctly ?

That would be a rare unit i think ?
Never seen the stamp before ( don`t think somebody will fake this unit as supposed to kriegsberichter or elite units).

**PaulR** · 04-03-2009, 11:18 AM

There is nothing suspicious about this book as far as I am concerned.

**Gerdan** · 04-03-2009, 12:36 PM

The Wehr Wirtschafts units had to do with the procurement of weapons and equipment for the army,
with the procurement of workers, raw material and means of transport
and
they examined the economic resources in the occupied countries.
