dedehansen Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hello Gents, today I want to show you a present that Oberbootsmannsmaat Bernhard Steinmann from Luftschiff L4 got for his " successful " paticipation in bombing Kings Lynn on January 19th 1915. It is a cigar - case stamped with Kings Lynn and 19.1.1915 plus mounted Iron Cross mini from 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudius Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 That's a nice historical item. How did you know it belonged to Steinmann? Is there additional documentation or did you get it direct from the family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 http://www.lynnnews.co.uk/news/regional/zeppelin-raid-set-blitz-precedent-1-6529060 Paul Thanks for the link Paul, very much appreciated That's a nice historical item. How did you know it belonged to Steinmann? Is there additional documentation or did you get it direct from the family? I got the whole estate at the intercession of a friend from the granddaughter. It contains the medal bar, award documents, life career written by the daughter and few fotos. Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sounds like an outstanding group to an Airship crewman, with a connection to a historically relevant raid over England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
