While I was in Vegas this week, I picked up an adminstrative officer tunic and green-striped pants (the tunic has the administration litzen on the collar). The tunic is named, and I was wondering if anybody could help with the name. The veteran's son said that his dad claimed to have gotten it from Von Rundstedt's house, but obviously if that is true, it belonged to a staff member. It should hopefully be possible to research this guy, to see if he was indeed a staff-member of the General's coterie.

How about piccies of the tunic?Comment

I'll shoot the tunic pics next week. It also came with a GREAT Ike Jacket. The vet who got the tunic was apparently in Audie Murphy's unit. The jacket had been on Antique Road Show a couple years back, so the story goes. Am going to try to hunt for the episode.Comment

He is also really good at writing in the third person and is photogenic too.Originally posted by WEISNER View Post
I will look forward to seeing the tunic, Rick Research is the only person I know that has the service and rank list for Admin officers. What is the rank on the tunic? The abbreviations on the label are the rank, the boards and piping color will help figure out what it is.Comment

There is one other person who has a Beamte Rangliste, and he frequents GMIC, and AHF IIRC. He post's under Glenn J and he also has a copy. IIRC that's where Rick got his copy! I have also heard rumblings of a library in Munich that has an original copy.............
High career and Crimson nebenfarbe....not too many careers to slot him into. General Stab would be the one that come's instantly to mind.
Thanks for posting the piccie.

With the higher rank it will be easier to figure out who he was if you can find someone with the list for Administration officer. Crimson is the color for Staff appointments but also for other jobs. The first word is hard to make out, typical titles for the major rank etc. would be Amtsrat or Regierungrat assuming he was later promoted by wars end. Amtsrat would be the best fit but the handwriting is hard to make out for sure.Comment

Yes, I forgot that he also has it. He is more active on GMIC than here. I wish they would scan it. There are copies in Germany but it is hard to get them to help with TR stuff. The 1939 list I have seen in catalog listings but there is usually a page limit for what they are willing to copy.Originally posted by Laurence Strong View PostComment

Holy crap. That is one Heer tunic I would love to have for my collection. There are a few cool specialties he could have been, which could have been linked to the General Staff or etc.Comment
