Herr General

Great!

Some info:

Thanks Eric and Jacky for your comments and thank Eric for your ID's. What is your source? A Ranklist?

I think your right that the mistery medal is a button!

And any of the younger officers still serving in 1940 must have gotten some VERY strange looks from their

comrades!

Is there a way to find more info about these awards? And Why he received them?

He ended his military carrier as the commander of the entire land army so I don't think that anyone was in the position to comment on his awards.

Stupid mistake, sorry

I will try to ID the other photo's later one.

Your right about the order of the Redeemer! I will see if I can find some hints in the usual newspaper archives. Thanks for your input Eric!

Here's a new picture.

Still in the mail. So I can't make a better close up scan!

His uniforms where designed by a famous Dutch uniform and medal designer! Frans Smits.

Thanks for that Info. It looks like some of the awards where drawn into the photo or in a negative of the photo.

I think I already found it. It is Th.F.J. Muller Massis.

Thanks. Looks like he is also wearing the Bavarian Military Merit Cross with swords

He is wearing a Iron Cross and a Bavaria Military Merit Order
