    3. Thought you guys might like this. Brunswick Rally badge worn by an Oberleutnant in the Luftwaffe. Flyer is a Beobachter with a Recon. unit. Note also that he is wearing an NSDAP long service docoration on his ribbon bar (looks like it is probably a 10 year ribbon). Enjoy. Jeremy
    4. Wehrpas to Unteroffizier Johannes Blauth, Blauth served initally with construction units before being transferred to the Rgt. General Goring.

    5. Wow great grouping!!! I collect Luftwaffe document groups and really like to see groups like this to Axis allies ,which as you are aware are quite rare. Very nice thanks for showing. Regards Jeremy
    6. Gordon very nice group. I've never been a huge fan of LW ground personnel groups (why I can't really say because these guys did some heavy lifting for the LW) but this one is a notable exception. Really interesting history and awards grouping. As a sidebar I have seen groups to ground personnel who while serving with front line Geschwaders were wounded from attacks on their bases. None that I own regrettably. Very nice!!! Jeremy
    7. Hah,
      Thanks Dobri regarding the comments on my site. Very much appreciated.
      Viele gruess

    8. Beautiful document grouping and quite rare indeed to find a well decorated member of the Feldgendarmie. Regards Jeremy
    9. Unfortunately nothing other than what I indicated for the tail end of 38/39. With the documents being in seperate collections I suspect this is a classic case of itmes being split up which is terrible to say the least. Hopefully soemone else will have the missing link to make the circle complete. ps Paul C - Glad Rick was able to see the additional info., thanks Jeremy
