An Unexpected WW2 U.S. Navy Distinguished Service Medal
Ulsterman replied to a topic in United States of America
Jeff Floyd I bet would know. There was an OMSA booklet on US awards to foreignrs if I recall correctly. -
A splendid medal! I must say that you seem to be very fortunate in your gifts! obviously the chap ho gave that to you was both a scholar and a gentleman....heh heh. :)
-
The life saving medal I noted seem o have the most wear, which made me wonder if this chap had won it earlier in his life.
-
Outstanding photo!
-
ah ha! I loved that one. Any mention of his exploits at Laganzalza?
-
I saw the American medal entitled in the awards summary of 1947. It was an amazing and lovely group. It was interesting that he was wounded badly in the stomach by a bomb shell in the summer ( surviving a gut wound in a Soviet hospital means this guy was made of cast iron I reckon) and then acted bravely in combat against the Finnish shore batteries .......

Did we not turn up some other information about Frobenius? wasn't he some sort of artist?
-
Sure Claudius, when I get back.

cool thread.

Blood Order roll?
Ulsterman replied to JBFloyd's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
wasn't there a thread on theses at the Axis History forum? I seem to recall some sort of Patzwall addendum of two pages after his initial booklet. -
Outstanding thread! I have been culling the Papal monthly encyclical which here is still bound in the Bishops Palace and goes back to the 1870s. the Magazine details Papal awards and so far I have @ 450 German names up to 1910. From what I can see, fewer awards went to Germany than Ireland, so awards seem to have been rationed informally by Bishoprics, or even ArchBishoprics.

Hungary Hungarian Partisan Badge Database
Ulsterman replied to hunyadi's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Farcas. no I do not lie. the medal you sent me was a cast copy. the mint ones are of much better construction. yours snapped at the ring at the top in the post and one can clearly see the cast zinky crap Chinese sports medal type construction. I will be happy to post it here upon my return. -
Deutscher Schützenbund photos
Ulsterman replied to LarryT's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
I have the Schutzenbund awards catalogue from 1990 but am away from my bookshelf at the moment. when I get back I will identify the ones that I can. -
Why do you say this was an AUSTRIAN and not a seconded German Feldwebel Lt. Type?
-
so, the Royal coachman ?
-
The book, The Royals and the Reich details his truly twisted pathetic career/life. Like so many Germans, he was seduced by Hitler, although in his case he admitted to having a strong homosexual attraction to Adolf Hitler. He was openly jealous of Eva Braun. Speer used to joke about it. he was and is an embarrassment to the Windsors.

Hmmmmmm....what is the thought behind Dean's combination being a fake? I would have looked at that and thought Baden lower middle class govt. clerk who got invalided home between 1914-1917 and then did DRK /relief work.
-
What do you think the odds are he was wearing this bar when he died? I reckon Germanys' first casualty of the war.
-
as of yesterday I now have in my hands some very old Orden magazines, which outline the Derg promulgated medals of 1979. The Wound, bravery, national service and long service/merit medals are all detailed. the replacement/reissued imperial campaign medals are not, which I take as further proof that they were issued in the mid 1980s. many thanks Bene Menti auctions!
-
Ah! How much do hese go for nowadays?
-
Ant I aircraft defense huh? That early I would have thought radio/signals or Air Force training.
-
I think it is a white Russian Medal of Zeal award for service in Russia in 1918-1919. Taylor's often used what was on hand. Given the lack of any other awards, I reckon this is some sort of Major/ Lt Colonel in some sort service corps/technical branch about 1947.

wow! Love this. I have been looking for a book on French gorget s they seem to be still affordable and nice to look at. also many were "there" when history was made.
