Thanks very much for your efforts, Christian, yet another problem solved.

Kind regards,

Valdis

I could find out now that there was held an open slot "mit Vorbehalt des Ranges" for Jent during the may promotions in 1917 as you can see on the pics below. In my opinion this promotion became automatically effective when returned from Russia.

Source is evident on the pics.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions Ian.

Kind regards,

Valdis

Many thanks Jake.

VJK,
All the books that I have indicated that Karl Jent finished the war as an Oberst. It is very likely he entered the Bundesheeres in 1919/1920 and he was subsequently promoted to Generalmajor.

Hi, I'm hoping someone could clear up the matter of Karl Jent's promotion to Generalmajor. The Schematismus der generale und obersten der K.U.K. Armee 1918 shows him as Oberst, similarly, he doesn't appear in Schmidt-Brentano's Die k. k. bzw. k. u. ...
