[Wijtman01]

Krosigh

cheers man

[RaymondG]

From the image is certainly looks like Krosigh, or Keosigh

Raymond

[Gerdan]

It is "v(on) Krosigk" - a still existing German noble family.


Gerdan

[Gerdan]

If the abbreviation of his rank (after the name) gives Oberstleutnant (?),

than in 1939 we find an Ernst - Anton von Krosigk as instructor at the

Kriegsakademie.

Gerdan

[Simon O.]

He was a Major at the time, later became general and held the oakleaves.

There are other Krosigk listed, what's the rank on the coat?

[Wijtman01]

amazing that there is already some possibble id here fellows

here is the rank

oberluitnant right??

cheers

hope we can pinpoint him

[Wijtman01]

the numbers on the shoulderboards are 87

cheers

[Simon O.]

He must have ordered the coat for his comissioning. The was a Lt.von Krosigk, comissioned 1.9.38 that belonged to 10./IR 87 in january 1939.

I think there's a good bet this is your man. IR 87 was part of the 36 ID and it was in the right area in June '40 for this to be him.

[Simon O.]

Incorrect ranks are quite common on the volksbund DB, especially within one rank of each other, so i wouldn't worry too much about that.
