Hi
Carrying on with documenting the Regiments of the Army.
Regiment 15 was part of the 5th Division alongside the 13th and 14th Infantry Regiments. It's HQ was based at Kassel with the Battalions stationed at Giessen, Eisenach and Kassel.
This album allows us to see the day to day life of a soldier from the perspective of the Regimental Staff Company and show the types of communications equipment available to the German Army In the 1920's and early 1930's.
The time frame is quite specific as the album covers from May 1932 to November 1932 and shows the soldiers on manoeuvres, at rest, on day trips and in training.
The company commander was Captain Stapelberg and the OIC of the Staff training Captain Wessel is also shown with his staff.....all named on the picture, a historical gift !
Here come the pictures.
cheers
Tony
