Our "King Size" members Rick Research and Daniel Krause have published a series of books, dealing with the awards of different German Imperial decorations. They were called "Statistische Ausarbeitungen zur Phaleristik Deutschlands". You can get them from the publisher here in Germany. http://www.autengruber.de/ In there you can find the names, dates and units of the recipients. Enjoy greetings eitze

This month seems to be a terrible one for the German troops in northern Afghanistan Since 2nd April 7 soldiers were killed and 13 wounded in three clashes with the Taliban. These are the biggest losses for the German Bundeswehr on campaign in such a short period since the end of WW-2. RiP greetings eitze

Hi Landsknechte, the Waldeck Verdienstkreuz 4. Klasse mit Schwertern was a war decoration for junior officers (Leutnant - Oberleutnant). The mentioned Otto Braun was a official in the civil service. For me that makes no sense. There is no person of the name in the 1914-18 Waldeck list for these award. Nevertheless a very nice group!!! greetings eitze

Yugoslavia Dealers to recommend for YU-Awards
eitze replied to Christian Zulus's topic in Southern European & Balkan States
While searching the forum I found this old thread and the address of singidunum-online. I was lucky to discover some Croatian documents in the shop, which I bought. After receiving the lot, I have to praise the service of Ranko Mandic and can fully recommend him! greetings eitze -
As I told above, no award certificates to collect for WW-1. So I was lucky to get this nice document three months ago. It is the certificate for the 2. class of the Waldeck Merit Cross to Geheimer Regierungsrath Kirschner awarded 14.02.1897 and signed by Fürst Friedrich of Waldeck-Pyrmont. greetings eitze

Hi Matt, the simple reason is, that the Waldeck WAR TIME ribbon is white in the middle and only the CIVIL version is yellow. Here you can see an example from my collection. It belongs to Major Werner von Buttlar. He got the civil 4. class (yellow ribbon) before the war and the same with swords (white ribbon) in WW-1. So whenever you see such a yellow middle ribbon WITH SWORDS it can only be from Reuss! greetings eitze

Bulgaria Medal for International Brigades in Spain 1936-39
eitze replied to christerd's topic in Central & Eastern European States
I don`t know, but perhaps he has good connections to the East. But in the last years he has had some of this pairs in his auctions. For that they are so rare, he offers them pretty often But hey - I am no expert in Bulgarian ODM ! greetings eitze -
As you perhaps know. all WW-1 War Decorations of Waldeck where made WITHOUT award documents. So unfortunately nothing to collect for the Waldeck Fan for this period Therefore I was happy to get my hands on 3 pre and post WW-1 documents to the winner of the Silver Merit Medal with X Karl Vonjahr Kriegsbeschädigter aus Giflitz date of award: 20.03.1918 (page 88 in the Waldeck Roll Book). First his Führungszeugnis for his National Service in the 6./ Inf. Regt. Nr. 83. The signature belongs to Hauptmann Johann Peter Christoph Friedrich Bachmann, himself holder of the Waldeck Verdienstkreuz 4. Klasse.

I can add further interesting info for an WW-1 award in the Waldeck Roll (page 21). The source is the history of the Infanterie Regiment No. 83 (The Waldeckers). The said medal was the Ehrenkreuz with swords, which was awarded on 20.01.1915 to Gefreiter Tambour (= drummer) 8./IR 83 HOY for action fought on 16.12.1914 around Plichtow on the eastern front against the Russians. After the town was taken, Gefreiter Hoy put an enemy machine gun out of combat. That was nothing special at that time, but the way he did it was exceptional He went around the enemy, took his drum sticks and started fast to drum. The Russians were so frightened at the moment, that they rose their arms and surrendered to him !!! Now - that`s a story There is a Gefreiter Hoy shown in the Silver Medal section of Roll Book on page 54. He was awarded the Silver Medal with X on 07.12.1914. I don`t know if the two are the same person. If so he got a further higher Waldeck award. If not he started immediately with Waldeck`s highest award for NCO/Men. greetings eitze

Hi Stogieman, a nice piece, but the wrong forum. The Independent State of Croatia 1941-45 was everything - but definite not Communist greetings eitze
