Named KM Reefer

[compressore]

Dears,

after a couple of reefer were posted, here one out of my collection (in fact it was the first one I have ever bought).

Kleiderkasse Kiel, tag named to Alfred Stiller.

His career:
1918 Leutnant z.S
1936 Adjudant der Kommandantur Wesermünde
1937 Adjudantur der Marinestation der Nordsee
1938 Kommandatur Wesermünde
05/40-07/40 Admiralstabsoffizier Stab Stationskommando Nordsee
08/40-07/43 Chef Trossschiffverband
08/43-12/43 1. Admiralstabsoffizier Stab Admiral der Seebefehlsstellen
01/44-05/44 Kommandeur 2. Schiffsstammregiment
05/44-09/44 Hafenkommandant La Spezia
09/44-12/44 Hafenkommandant im Abschnitt Venedig
12/44-03/45 Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine/Seekriegsleitung QU VI
Juli 45 Entlassen

I assume he has not worn the HSF and destroyer badge as his duty was always in staff positions, but it looks more nice....

Regards
Christian

Very Nice! Nice carrier!
This is a piece every Kriegsmarine Collector is dreaming of!

All the best

Great uniform. The reefer jackets are one of my favourite TR uniforms.

Great piece

With brocade dress, if I'm right, he would worn a medal bar.
Based on Angolia's Volume 1, p. 250&251 under "Parade dress" > nr. 9

That's the only form of dress where brocade belt was used with the reefer (Paradeanzug, introduced by order MV 39, No 284, dated 31 march 1939) .

He would also wore the dress aiguilette at parades before Hitler, at military events with foreign heads of state and when otherwise ordered.

I guess that medalbar of EK2 and long sevice would suit here (but of course, if you have his service records you can find the exact medals to use).

Awards

Hi Andjelo,

thanks for your comments.
Yes, I have to change the display in order to be correct.
Up to now, I could not find any records about awards to Stiller.
Here the picture (I assume made around 1939). It seems he wear the WWI EK2, Frontkaempferkreuz and service medal.

But until 1944, time he became Kapitaen, I assume he got some more awards.

You're right, that's just what t looks like.

It's a great piece of history so it really deserves further investigation.

Congrats again!!! One of the best looking reefers I've seen.

You have a superb Reefer and your setup is beautiful. Might we see a few more photos? An interior would be nice.
Thanks for showing this lovely tunic!

Photos

Hello,
first thank all of you for the nice comments..encouraging !
Here some pics inside and labels.
The reefer has seen "action." Tailored in 1934 and worn until 1945. So the marks of use are clearly there...but this gives character.

Best regards
