        The Wehrpass is still with his daughter, I met her yesterday and she allowed to take photos, but not to make the Name public
        He was born in 1890, Leutnant in the WW I, and 1940 called to the Wehrmacht as Oberleutnant der Reserve
        Next week I will have the next meeting with her and she wants to show me more Photographs
        WOW! What a wonderfully rare item. Thanks for showing!

                  The Duke

                  Some interesting pics of Duke Carl-Eduard, wearing his CB, he must be very proud on it.

                      A great set of photos of Duke Carl-Eduard of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, particularly the ones with Gauleiters Franz Schwede-Coburg of Pomerania and Gustav Simon of Moselland...I wonder how the duke got along with Gauleiter Fritz Sauckel of Thüringen, where the city of Coburg is located?!

                        Coburg is in Bavaria

                          That's right, Erich, but which Gau was it a part of? The maps make Coburg's political location difficult to discern, at least for me. It appears that Coburg could have been in Gau Thüringen or Gau Bayreuth, both of which are in the State of Bavaria.

                            Coburg came to Bayern in 1920, so it belonged to Bayreuth and the ostmark. Until the end of WWI Coburg was an autonom Regency with Duke Carl Eduard in the Territory of Coburg and Gotha ( Thüringen)

                              Coburg was an independent state in the "Kaiserreich"!After the lost war, in 1919, was here in Coburg a vote/poll in wich country inside the new Republik Deutschland Coburg will belong. The overwhelm majority of the citizens vote for Bayern/Bavaria.Then in 1920 was the connection to Bavaria.
                              Note: the british royalty name was to 1916 "Saxe-Coburg".After that (WWI with the Empire) the new name was "Windsor"!

                                Thanks for your response, M. Zimmer; very helpful, clarifying that Coburg was a city in Gau Bayerische Ostmark, under Gauleiter Hans Schemm and, after Schemm's accidental death, under Gauleiter Fritz Wächtler. Schemm was an educator and quite a "Man for All Seasons," and he probably got along well with Duke Carl-Eduard, as they were both SA-Gruppenführers. The name of Gau Bayerische Ostmark was changed to Gau Bayreuth in 1941, when it was enlarged.
