Hello,
Since I am allready collecting Kriegsmarine documents, photo's and awards for over 3 years now, I decided to "upgrade" my collection with something else.
I have seen a very interresting Summer Tunic for a Kriegsmarine Unteroffizier.
The rank insignia indicate that he was a Stuckmeister/Feldwebel.
I unfortunatly can't post any photo's yet, because my normal computer is still broken and I don't have the photo's of the uniform anymore.
I am going to see it in real on the 29th of August, because I really want to buy it, and to have something to take care of!
And I don't want to buy something just via internet, I would rather like to see it in real.
But, I also have a question.
I have looked on google and other sites about ranks of the Kriegsmarine, but I am unable to find anything about "Stuckmeister".
Is there anyone who could tell me more about this, or has photo examples of this rank being worn on a uniform?
With kind regards,
Koen! :O/Y
First, I'm no expert and haven't heard of this rank before but I think what you really mean is "Stückmeister".
Maybe you can try google (with the different spelling) (http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=St%C3%BCckmeister+marine) which might lead you to these Rank symbols in the high seas fleet (http://kaiserliche.marineuniformen.de/index.php?idcat=64&sid=929e1590e14b42a9a35e12784cf63ebc).
According Meyers 1905 (http://www.zeno.org/Meyers-1905/A/St%C3%BCckmeister) and Brockhaus 1911 (http://www.zeno.org/Brockhaus-1911/A/St%C3%BCckmeister) lexica "Stückmeister" was a navel rank equal to a [wiki]Feldwebel[/wiki] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldwebel) for someone responsible for guns ("Stücke").
Hope I could help.
Ich dachte schon fast die Kriegsmarine beschaeftigte Stuckateure. 8-)
Waer zu toll anzuschauen mit schoenen Stucktaefelungen in der U-Bootmesse, oder im Maschinenraum eines S-Bootes.
Wobei jetzt Stuckateure nichts mit der Stuka Ju 87 zu tun haben. Stuckverzierungen unter den Tragflaechen haetten allerdings auch was.
Off Topic ende
Don´t Panic
Hello,
Thank you very much for the information, it helped me very much, I want the uniform even more now!
If anyone is interrested in it, I could post photo's of it as soon as I have it. :-)
Furthermore, I would also like to complete the whole uniform.
When I'm buying the uniform, I would have the White Service Tunic, and the White service trousers.
But, were there also other specific uniform parts, like a Summer belt (and buckle), or other special Summer uniform Accessories?
I know that there is a White Summer visor cap, but I don't know if there are any other uniform parts except tunic, trousers and a visor cap.
With kind regards,
Koen.
