Gordon Williamson Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 A friend of mine just bought this ensemble attributed to Kurt Marlow. Doesn't seem to be too much information available on the Net for this guy. So far, we know the following. Generalmajor Kurt Marlow Born : 26 September 1892 Military Service: 1 October 1913 Einjahriger Freiwilliger Husaren Regt. 7 2 January 1915 Leutnant der Reserve 17 November 1915 Leutnant Fa. Regt 23 1 October 1934 Kommandeur III/ Art. Regt 8 1 April 1937 Oberstleutnant 1 September 1939 – 6 September 1940 Artillerie Regt 614 1 April 1940 Oberst 25 March 1941 – June 1942 Stab Heeres Feuerwerkerschule I – Berlin Lichterfelde June 1942 – February 1945 Kommandeur Feldzeug Kommando XXI 1 October 1943 Generalmajor February 1945 – May 1945 Kommandeur zur Aufstellung eines Divisions Stab zum Befehlshaber Erzgebirge. The tunic has the usual loops for a ribbon bar above the pocket, with loops on the pocket for four awards (two in the centre, one above the other, and one to each side) Does anyone have any info on the awards to which he was entitled so the uniform can be correctly "dressed" for display ?

Guest Rick Research Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Ayuh. All revealed in the Reichsheer Rank Lists: WW1: Iron Crosses 1st and 2nd Class, Oldenburg Friedrich August Crosses 1st and 2nd Classes, Schaumburg-Lippe Cross for Distinction in War, and 1918 type Black Wound Badge. The 4th pinback had to have been a 1939 KVK1X. His ribbon bar as a career Imperial-Reichswehr-Wehrmacht officer was unique, so only extraordinary luck can help there.

Gordon Williamson Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thanks Rick ! So, presumably his ribbon bar would be something like this - assuming a couple of Wehrmacht LS ribbons ? ( I've probably got the order wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hindenburg X in 5th place in front of just the Wehrmacht 25 and 12. No way to tell without a photo of him whether he wore the Oldenburg or Schaumburg award ahead of one another 3rd/4th place, but probably the Oldenburg ahead since he had both classes.
