Fritz Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 A memorial mass for the Grenadier-Division Hoch- und Deutschmeister at the Votiv-Kirche in Wien in 2015. Some traditional uniforms are worn, some old veterans of Stalingrad present. Originally the k.u.k. Hoch- und Deutschmeister Infanterie-Regiment 4, has maintained its traditions over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Amazing clip, I wonder what the value of those helmets would be today, from what I can see they all seem to be original too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 In the post-war films when a lot of these films were made, 1950s to mid 1970s, Bavaria Film Studios, Studio Hamburg and Berlin, etc., etc., there were a lot of original pieces in film costume studios, but a lot of it was altered and fiddled around, this came onto the market in later years. Otherwise pieces were specially made up for the film as required. Recently a 1940s made Bavarian Hartschier uniform was sold, this had been made for a film of some sort, most of the materials involved were original left-overs. Uniforms were also acquired or made for the spectacular König Ludwig II. film in 1955, there was still a lot available. Some of this surfaced on the militaria market and auctions in the 1980s and 1990s. I even bought a perfect tunic from a small costume hire business about 20 years ago. I was told, it was normally for hire, 40 DM each time, the tunic would then be dry-cleaned after return for the next customer, and after about 10 hires, discarded - so I asked him how much to buy outright - and he said he would need 400 DM, to which I agreed, so this uniform was saved from destruction in time. That particular costumier is no longer there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 It is not an Austrian uniform, it is of Husaren-Regiment 15, Wandsbek (comparable examples already under that particular topic) I will eventually get round to posting some more uniforms some time! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
