    Major : 30.07.1920

    a. D. : 31.03.1920

    Our man served first in the FAR Nr. 32 then in FAR Nr. 78

    He received the following medals during the war :

    Both iron crosses

    Knight cross of St Henry, 30.08.1917

    Crown to knight cross 1st class with X of ALbert of Saxe, 23.05.1917

    :Cat-Scratch: Ah! Two awards that Erhard Roth did not know about-- AK and BMV4X! Notice that NO aunit is given on the AK document :banger: and as usual the BMV4X has the regular officer's pre-war unit listed, not where he really was.

    I last turn up Deißner as a Polizei-Major with Saxon Landespolizei in Chemnitz in 1925. :cheers:

    Ahh, but THAT was like the BMV4X versus BMV4XmKr-- depending on whether it was a FIRST award (as you mention) or... a SECOND award of the same class. Crowns as second awards to SA3aXs were quite common for Saxon Hauptleute-- though I'm not sure how they came up with decisions about whether to give a second Albert rather than an SV3aX. The Saxons were rather odd in NOT strictly adhering to rigid steps in being decorated.
