Great Job Sergey

Who build the bunker? НЕМЕЦКИЙ or Русский

Sorry CTurk3 You should try to get your money back.

Great pictures! Thank you

Have a look here: http://ksmvb.gmxhome.de/pages/kyffh_spangenpag.html

The Deutscher Teckelklub e.V. was fouded in 1888. The Landes-Gruppe Hannover was founded in 1959. Here is their current address, email and website: Deutscher Teckelklub e.V. Gruppe Hannover Monika Kühne Weiße Hube 15 30519 Hannover monika.kuehne@t-online.de http://www.hannover-teckel.de/index.html

Cannot comment on the originality of the Gefechtsspange- but the ribbon is wrong for the Kyffhäusermedaille.

Is that Bear-party or Beer-party Yes, pictures would be great! Thank you :cheers:

Thank you for clarifying the name. The DKG was awarded to Leutnant Fuchs for actions during the fighting in the Kamenets-Podolsky Pocket (Hube Kessel)

My sources have Leutnant Fuchs, of Stab - III. Abteilung - Gebirgs-Artillerie-Regiment 85 (101. Jäger-Division), listed as Karl Fuchs . Now, Kurt is close to Karl, so it could be a mistake (in my source). I will do some more research.

Does it say III. AR 85? Can you post a lager scan of the document.

Martin, is that Hille in Singapore

Hille, born 24.04.1895, served on "THOR" from July 1939 to November 1942

I kind of answered my own question. German Cross in Gold . Hille, Heinrich, Korvettenkapitän (Ing.) d.R., Leit. Ing. Hilfskreuzer Thor - DKG am 20.11.41

Good point! I don't think they did unless they were assigned to another venue. When was the picture taken?

Martin, can you post a larger scan of the ribbon bar

I don’t think that the second buttonhole ribbon is an EKII. It appears to be a Atlantic wall medal ribbon. A WWI EK recipient was not awarded another (WWII) EK, only the 1939 Spange. He is however wearing his EKI 1914 twice, once on the bar and in the buttonhole.

Very nice portrait, Martin! ... as said, a Turkish award for Imperial German officers - known as "Eiserner Halbmond", "Gallipoli-Star" or in turkish as Harp Madalyası. The award was instituted in 1915

Post handwritten German texts for translation here:

Leutnant Krug von Nidda Vizefeldwebel Leopold Vizefeldwebel Haferkorn

Sorry Thomas, I mean Jäger-Regiment Nr. 3 see here: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40524&st=0&p=375290&fromsearch=1&#entry375290

Schoulder Strap appears to be Artillerie. The arm badge looks like Jäger-Sturmbataillon 3. Could it be a crew member of one of the 6 Infanteriegeschütze with Sturmbataillon. I'm sure Chip will have the answer

Great research and presentation!

In March 1918, I have the Garde-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr.3 together with Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr.236 assigned to Artillerie-Kommandeur 132 of the Garde-Kavallerie-Schützen-Division.
