Here's a battalion commander. Not sure of his ank. Clearly a WW I vet based on his EK II ribbon. Also has the German Cross in Gold, if I have that designation correct. Unfortunately, there's no name or unit on the back, Abt. Kds., which I assume means Battalion commander.

Great pic - very salty. Rank is probably major (i think that is a numerial on the shoulderboards (3?) and not a pip. Yes he is/could be a battalion commander.

Hi Willem,

Glad you like him. I believe he was a Battalion Commander due to it saying on the back of the photo Abt. Kds. I think that's the abbreviation for Battalion Commander isn't?

Abt. I would say is Abteilung or section, but that is not the normal designation for Battalion. Nevertheless the rank would fit with a battalion commander.

Here's an officer taken in Posen, I assume that's a location, in 1943. What is his rank and what medals are represented on his medal bar?

Ek i

Here's a soldier who has earned an EK I. There is writing on the back and so, I'll put it in the translation thread.
