Karl Eberth (born November 12, 1877 in München; died April 13, 1952 in Steingaden) was a German General der Artillerie in World War II.

Eberth entered the Bavarian Army on July 14, 1896. After attending the War School, he was promoted to Leutnant on October 5, 1898 and served as a battery officer until the end of September 1900. This was followed by his transfer to the 8th Field Artillery Regiment “Prinz Heinrich von Preußen,” where Eberth served as battalion adjutant from 1901 to 1904. From 1908 to 1911 he attended the War Academy, which qualified him for the General Staff. On February 21, 1913 he was transferred to the General Staff of the III Army Corps, promoted to Hauptmann two days later, and remained there through the beginning of World War I until June 18, 1916. He was then assigned as General Staff officer to the 2nd Infantry Division and promoted to Major in mid-April 1917. This was followed from March 18 to December 16, 1918 by an assignment to the staff of the General Command z. b. V. 57. For his service during the war he was awarded both classes of the Iron Cross, the Military Merit Order 3rd Class with Swords, and the Wound Badge in Black.

After the Armistice of Compiègne, Eberth was assigned as General Staff officer to the 5th Division on December 17, 1918.

On April 25, 1919 he was transferred to the staff of the commander of Bavarian troops Arnold von Möhl in München and participated in the suppression of the Munich Soviet Republic. On May 16, 1920 Eberth became Chief of Staff of Military District Command VII and in this capacity was promoted to Oberstleutnant in early February 1922. On October 1, 1922 he was appointed commander of the III Battalion of the 7th (Bavarian) Artillery Regiment in Nürnberg. A year later he moved to the regimental staff, rose to Oberst on February 1, 1926, and was appointed regimental commander on March 1, 1928. From February 1, 1929 Eberth served as Artillery Commander V in Stuttgart, was promoted to Generalmajor on April 1, 1929, and from February 1, 1930 was Artillery Commander VII in München. On November 30, 1930 he retired from the Reichswehr with the character rank of Generalleutnant.
Wehrmacht

Eberth was reactivated on April 1, 1934 for the Luftwaffe then being built up and served until the end of March 1935 as President of the Higher Air Office in München and thereafter from April 1 to the end of August 1935 as Commander in Air District V (München). On April 1 Eberth had received the patent to his rank. On August 31, 1935 Eberth again retired from military service with the character rank of General der Flieger.

His second reactivation occurred on July 1, 1938. Eberth was assigned to the Army and remained at disposition until May 10, 1940, without holding his own command. On May 11, 1940 he was appointed Higher Artillery Commander 301 with Army Group A. On November 23, 1942 this staff was dissolved and Eberth was transferred to the Führer Reserve of the Army High Command (OKH). On April 30, 1943 he was definitively retired in the rank of General der Artillerie z.V.

Eberth was arrested by U.S. forces in München on May 28, 1945 and was subsequently held as a prisoner of war until July 5, 1947.

Die Uniformen für die Generale der Luftwaffe sind erheblich seltener als die der Wehrmacht. Die Luftwaffe hatte insgesamt nur 688 Generale. In dieser Vollständigkeit allerdings wohl einmalig.

Walther von Axthelm (* 23. Dezember 1893 in Hersbruck; † 6. Januar 1972 in Traunstein) war ein deutscher General der Flakartillerie der Luftwaffe im Zweiten Weltkrieg.
Axthelm trat am 15. September 1913 als Fahnenjunker in das 8. Feldartillerie-Regiment „Prinz Heinrich von Preußen“ Nr. 8 der Bayerischen Armee in Nürnberg ein. Mit Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs nahm er als Batterieoffizier an den Kämpfen in Lothringen, dem Stellungskrieg zwischen Mosel und Maas sowie an der Schlacht um Verdun teil. Am 16. Dezember 1916 wechselte Axthelm zum Stab der II. Abteilung über, wo er bis zum 20. Januar 1917 eine Einweisung als Abteilungsadjutant erhielt. Diese Funktion bekleidete er anschließend bis 8. September 1917 und wurde dann bis über das Kriegsende hinaus als Batterieführer an der Westfront eingesetzt. Seine Leistungen während des Krieges wurden durch die Verleihung beider Klassen der Eisernen Kreuzes, des Verwundetenabzeichens in Schwarz sowie des Militärverdienstorden IV. Klasse mit Schwertern und mit Krone gewürdigt. Nach Kriegsende und Rückkehr in die Garnison wurde sein Regiment ab 28. Dezember 1918 demobilisiert und schließlich aufgelöst. Aus demobilisierten Teilen bildeten sich verschiedene Freiformationen, darunter die Sicherheitsbatterie 2. Sie war auch unter dem Namen Volkswehr-Batterie „von Axthelm“ bekannt und formierte sich zu vier Batterien. Axthelm fungierte vom 25. März bis 20. Oktober 1919 als Führer dieses Verbandes, wurde in die Vorläufige Reichswehr übernommen und dem Reichswehr-Artillerie-Regiment 24 zugeteilt. Vom 1. Januar 1921 bis 30. September 1923 war er Abteilungsadjutant im 7. (Bayerisches) Artillerie-Regiment. Dort fungierte Axthelm dann bis 30. September 1931 zunächst als Zugführer, Batterieführer, später Batteriechef und absolvierte eine kraftfahrtechnische sowie einen Flak-Ausbildung. Hier war Axthelm vom 20. September bis 2. Oktober 1931 zur Schwedischen Armee abkommandiert. Zum 1. Oktober 1931 wurde er dann in das Reichswehrministerium versetzt.
Zum 1. April 1935 trat Axthelm als Major zur Luftwaffe über, wo er bis zum 12. August 1936 als Gruppenleiter bei der Inspektion der Flakartillerie im Reichsluftfahrtministerium eingesetzt wurde. Am Folgetag wurde er zum Kommandeur des Luftwaffen-Regiments „General Göring“ ernannt, welches ab dem 28. Oktober 1939 die Tarnbezeichnung Stab Flak-Regiment 103 führte. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs gab Axthelm am 31. Mai 1940 das Kommando an Generalleutnant Paul Conrath ab und wurde zum 1. Juni 1940 Kommandeur der neuaufgestellten 1. Flak-Brigade, die nach dem Ende des Westfeldzuges zum Flakschutz des Großraums Paris aufgestellt worden war. Am 8. Dezember 1940 wurde der Brigadestab nach Dessau verlegt, wo sie den Flakschutz der Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke übernahm. Am 11. März 1941 wurde der Brigadestab in das neu aufzustellende Generalkommando des I. Flak-Korps erweitert und umgewandelt. Axthelm wurde in diesem Zusammenhang mit der Führung des I. Flak-Korps beauftragt. Im Zuge des beginnenden Ostfeldzuges ab Juni 1941 war sein Korps Bestandteil der Heeresgruppe Mitte und wurde im Rahmen der 2. Panzerarmee eingesetzt. Es folgten Einsätze bei der Kesselschlacht bei Białystok und Minsk, der Kesselschlacht bei Smolensk, der Schlacht um Kiew, sowie der Doppelschlacht bei Wjasma und Brjansk und letztendlich bei der Schlacht um Moskau. Letztere führte Axthelm ab dem 25. November 1941 als Kommandierender General des I. Flak-Korps. Zuvor hatte er bereits für seine taktische Führung am 4. September 1941 das Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes verliehen bekommen. Am 20. Dezember 1941 gab Axthelm das Kommando des Korps an Generalmajor Richard Reimann ab, der mit der Führung beauftragt wurde. Axthelm selbst kehrte nach Berlin in das Reichsluftfahrtministerium zurück, wo er vom 12. Januar 1942 bis Ende März 1945 die Funktion des Generals der Flakwaffe (Inspekteur der Flakartillerie) wahrnahm. Gleichzeitig fungierte er während dieser Zeit vom 1. April 1943 bis Ende März 1945 als Inspekteur der V 1, die anfangs noch die Tarnbezeichnung Flakzielgerät 76 trug. Am 31. März 1945 gab Axthelm die Dienststelle des Generals der Flakwaffe an Wolfgang Pickert, der schon seit dem 20. März 1945 eingearbeitet worden war und wurde Kommandierender General der Flakausbildung. Mit der bedingungslosen Kapitulation der Wehrmacht geriet Axthelm am 8. Mai 1945 in US-amerikanische Kriegsgefangenschaft, aus der er am 1. Juli 1947 wieder entlassen wurde.

Weißes Baumwolltuch, langer Umhang. Das Hemd ist fleckig, Zustand 2.

Die Feldbluse wurde von einem SS-Mann bzw. Rekruten getragen. Erst nach einem Jahr Zugehörigkeit durfte das Ärmelband "Deutschland" sowie die Namenszüge "D" auf den Schulterklappen getragen werden. Kammerstück in der typischen Ausführung für die SS-Verfügungstruppe, um 1936. Die Feldbluse weicht im Schnitt und den Details deutlich von den Modellen der Wehrmacht bzw. der späteren Waffen-SS ab: Fertigung aus dem frühen feldgrauem Tuch mit feldgrauem Kragen. Die Knopfleiste mit nur 4 Knöpfen, zum vollständigen Schließen der Feldbluse befindet sich hinter dem Kragen ein verdeckter Riegel sowie ein kleiner verdeckter Knopf auf offenen Kragen. In den Ärmeln befindet sich jeweils ein verdeckter Bund zum knöpfen als "windbreaker", ähnlich wie bei den Fallschirmjäger Kombinationen, auf den Ärmeln außen die entsprechenden umlaufenden Nähte. 2 aufgesetzte Brusttaschen sowie 2 eingesetzte schräge Hüfttaschen. Komplett mit allen Effekten. Die Kragenspiegel für Mannschaften "SS 1" in SS-RZM maschinengestickter Ausführung, maschinell vernäht. Die schwarzen Schulterklappen mit umlaufender schwarz/silberner Paspelierung, mit Schlaufen. Auf dem linken Arm der Ärmeladler in in der frühen RZM-maschinengestickter Ausführung "hammer head", maschinell vernäht. Innen mit dem besonderen Futter für die frühen SS-Vt Feldbluse, mit schönen Kammerstempeln: im Rücken "VA 1937", Größenstempel "50", an der Knopfleiste innen "7./SS D I." sowie Herstellerstempel "Wilhelm Viohl & Co Berlin 10..". B 37 …", an der linken Hüfttasche zusätzlich eingenäht ein kleiner Tragehaken (zum einhaken am Hosenbund) für den besseren Sitz der Feldbluse. Alle Effekten sind original vernäht.
Die Feldbluse ist deutlich getragen, in unberührter Originalerhaltung, Zustand 2.
Mit Sicherheit ist dies das seltenste Modell aller SS-Feldblusen, die meisten Stücke wurden bereits zu Beginn des 2. Weltkriegs aufgetragen. In über 40 Jahren ist dies das 1. Modell dieser Art, welches wir anbieten können.
