Wasserschutzpolizei?

With that sleeve eagle, it's WSP, and leutnant rank with those rank straps and the single cuff ring. I sure would like to see a clear photo of the sleeve insignia.

Gerd,

by 1914 Herr Altrogge was with the V./39 Polizeirevier Berlin and had been awarded the Crown Order 4th Class (21 April 1910) and upgraded his Landwehrdienstauszeichnung to the 1st Class.

He was also promoted to Hauptmann der Landwehr I on 16.6.11. He is still shown in the 1915 Berin Adreßkalender as a Polizeileutnant in V./39. He continued to serve after the War and is still shown as a Polizeihauptmann in the 1920 Berlin Adreßbuch and a Polizeimajor in 1921.

Regards
Glenn

A little more on Altrogge:

Altrogge, Adolf Gottlieb,
*3.6.1864 in Bechterdissen, Amt Oerlinghausen, Fürstentum Lippe

He was already a Polizei-Hauptmann in January 1915, so he must have been promoted after the cut-off date for updating the Adreßkalender.

He received the Iron Cross 2nd Class in 1914 and the Lippe Kriegsverdienstkreuz on 18 January 1915.

Regards,
Dave
