Rather a naive question, I suppose, but I need some information on the Freikorps. I have a type I Wehrpass where the guy's only active service (page 12) is listed as Freikorps 1917-1919, with some handwriting I haven't translated yet. Some internet research gives me the dates of 1918-1923 for the Freikorps. Will someone briefly tell me about the Freikorps, and why this guy was in it in 1917 instead of being in the army ??
