Great input so far! While we wait for those pictures, can anyone tell me what the uniform of an "official for the duration of the war in the rank of a General" (what a title, in German this would have been three words ) would have looked like. I've seen the visor with the gold piping and grey cap band, what about the tunic and the insignia?

OK, I guess it's no problem to directly "quote" an image from a book, giving the entire bibliographical information.
This is the visor I am refering to, it is pictured in Volume I of Pat Moran & Jon Maguire, German Headgear in World War II, Army, Luftwaffe & Kriegsmarine, A Photographic Study of German Hats and Helmets, Schiffer : 1997.:Attached Files

Hi Kurt.
Beamte a. K. would wear a regular Heer visor with a Dark green waffenfarbe which it has, also the eagle and wreath should be silver in color for HV.. Interesting visor, as I have never had one in hand do those grey bands come off without major alteration?.

Sweet boards. Whats the difference between a Generalrichter and a Beamte Judicial General? The only colors that I am aware of for generals was red for HV, bBordeaux for Richter, and light blue for TSD. And to my knowledge non of the Carmine careers had anything to do with the Courts (sic)
Here is what I have for the carmine careers:
All permanent officials of the High Command<O</O
All education officials<O</O
Army surveyors<O</O
Army librarians<O</O
Army archivists<O</O
Army officials of the War Research institute<O</O
Army museum officials<O</O
Army meteorologists<O</O
Army sports instructor officials<O</O
Record officials attached to various commands<O</O
Army psychiatrists<O</O
Could those be a faded pair of red?Attached FilesLast edited by Laurence Strong; 03-10-2009, 06:47 PM.
