Actually, I just noticed that I have to expand on my above post and correct it somewhat.
What I wrote above is correct when referring to physicians in general, especially civilian ones; but "
Assistenzarzt" (like "
Oberarzt") is not just a hierarchy level/duty position, but also a military rank designation for medical officers. In the case at hand, it was obviously the latter, not the former.
It breaks down like this:
Rank designations for army physicians (as used by the Heer):
- Unterarzt (equivalent to Oberfähnrich)
- Assistenzarzt (equivalent to Leutnant)
- Oberarzt (equivalent to Oberleutnant)
- Stabsarzt (equivalent to Hauptmann)
- Oberstabsarzt (equivalent to Major)
- Oberfeldarzt (equivalent to Oberstleutnant)
- Oberstarzt (equivalent to Oberst)
- Generalarzt (equivalent to Generalmajor)
- Generalstabsarzt (equivalent to Generalleutnant)
- Generaloberstabsarzt (equivalent to General)
Hierarchy level-/duty position designations (as used by medical establishments in general):
- Assistenzarzt
- Oberarzt
- Leitender Oberarzt
- Chefarzt
Andreas, this is awesome. After your first post I tried to search for a Medical Personnel Dienstgrad list, but couldnt find anything like it. This answers alot of questions I had.

Aha! Thats what the building is. I saw the writing on the building, but hadnt a clue what it said.
And Awesome HPL, thank you for clearing that up!
I did however understand that an Oberarzt, Oberfeldarzt, and Chefarzt. must have been more highly qualified, from seeing signatures on award docs and other official documents from the period. It's nice to learn new terms/titles.
Here is a Hauptmann from Infanterie Regiment 62. Check out the Alter-Art Crusher/ Knautschmutze
I like the crusher cap.

Re: New Photo Pick-Ups - Please Share
this is just a really good portrait. really good.
congratulations.
the inscription i better stay away from. i think i could do it, but there are native speakers about and i think it's just better to let someone with that background to take a stab at this.
to my eye, that writing is pretty rough!

Haha! Thats exactly what I thought when I saw it. It is a bit of a scribble IMO!
I forgot to add that I believe this man to be from 1. Panzer Division, Panzer Regiment 2 (as it is dated 1939 above the writing).....not the later 16th Pz Div, Pz Reg 2. My friend Marcel has a foto of this same man, but as an Unteroffizier, whithout #ed boards.
