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.

Nice document grouping Gordon!

Thanks for showing.

Jeremy

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

Nice document grouping/insignia!!

Jeremy

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

Beautiful document grouping and quite rare indeed to find a well decorated member of the Feldgendarmie.

Regards

Jeremy

Beautiful bar and very unique/rare to be certain.

Jeremy

I guess there is no new info in there about what he did between 1930 and 1939?

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
