Gary B Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I have the following engraved on a badge.... Schmalschläger s.l Hörmann z. Erg. an den verhängnisvollen Flug 16 x 16 My poor translation indicates it is to remember some sort of fateful flight. What is the s.l and z. Erg stand for? I have found 2 Schmalschläger and 2 Hörmann but can not link the 2 (if in fact I have the correct people) Thanks in advance. Gary B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arb Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Gary, this information is from the Bavarian casualty list #315 dated 10. November 1916 Flieger Abteilung 2 Oblt. (5. Chev. Regts.) Benedikt Schmalschläger – München - leicht verwundet Ltn. d.R. d. Fliegertr. Ludwig Hörmann – München – schw. verw. I think it is safe to say these are the individuals on your badge- given by Schmalschläger to Hörmann No doubt there is more information on both on ancestry.com in the Bavarian Stammlisten Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hi Gary, As I said on the 'other forum', this is a very interesting badge and makes perfect sense. You might want to post some images so members can see this unusual item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
