Diskussion:Felix zu Salm-Salm
aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie
In der Literatur wird Felix zu Salm-Salm oft als General unter Maximilian I. von Mexiko erwähnt. Doch war er nur Oberst. Lediglich anlässlich eines Fototermins hatten sich die zu fotografierenden Personen diese Uniform übergezogen: "On the 21st of October 1867 the famous photographer Aubert received permission to take pictures of all imprisoned generals there and, knowing that they were in poor condition mainly in torn civilian clothes, took a Mexican Generals' dress uniform with decorations (from a very fat General) with him to give them a better look on the photos. So all of them wore the same uniform on these photos which was the beginning of the often published legend (the photo was also used as basis for a lithography published in Germany) that Felix Prinz zu Salm-Salm had become a Mexican General!" - Quelle: www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk. - Dobschütz 18:14, 16.
