Talk:Gebhard Ludwig Himmler

Question
The article says: "in May 1917 [he] was made Fahnenjunker of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment". Was that the same regiment as Adolf Hitler? If it was, it should be added. Jonas Vinther (talk) 12:44, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * It's not clear from German Wikipedia. Hitler joined the 16th ("List's Own") Royal Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment; its German Wiki article mentions various notables but not Himmler. There was also a regular 16th ("Grand Duke Ferdinand of Toskana's Own") Royal Bavarian Infantry Regiment. --Bermicourt (talk) 16:43, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps could deduce it from the German Wikipedia... Gebhard joined the reserve battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment in Passau, which must mean this, I think: de:Königlich Bayerisches 16. Infanterie-Regiment „Großherzog Ferdinand von Toskana“.Hoops gza (talk) 23:33, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

It seems beyond doubt that it was the one "in Passau", if that is any help.Hoops gza (talk) 23:35, 2 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that's probably right. So not the regiment Hitler joined. And neither unit has an article on English Wiki... yet! --Bermicourt (talk) 07:03, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
