    Who is this Vizeadmiral?


    Recommended Posts

    • 10 months later...

    This Viceadmiral was identified as Admiral Werner Fuschs but for me the ribbon bar doesn't fit.

    I went through Biblios books of Deutschlands Admirale 1849-1945 and my findings are that this also could be:

    - Admiral Hermann Densch

    - Admiral Willy Nordeck

    - Viceadmiral Otto Feige

    - Viceadmiral Siegfried Massmann

    - Viceadmiral Robert Withoeft-Emden

    but I don't have any good pics to compare with.

    Cheers,

    Lado

    Hello Lado,

    Many thanks for your reply.

    I agree; Admiral Fuchs does not fit. I have did some searching on the Officers you have suggested. Here is what I have found.

    - Admiral Hermann Densch (he did not have the Bremen Hanseatic Cross)

    - Admiral Willy Nordeck (had no WW1 German awards other than the Iron Cross 2nd Class)

    - Admiral z.V Otto Feige (held rank of Char. Admiral by 1937 & did not have the HOHx)

    - Vizeadmiral Siegfried Maβmann (I can find no information on his awards)

    - Vizeadmiral Robert Withoeft-Emden (I can find no information on his awards)

    Best wishes

    Matt
