All of the items apart from the helmet, sword and Feldbinde belonged to the same officer. The highest rank he reached was Oberstleutnant, as can be seen on one pair of shoulder straps. There are further shoulder straps of Leutnant - Hauptmann, however the stars have been removed at some time, the Epaulettes are for a Leutnant.
