Hi, http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/43597-annaberg-kreuz-2klasse/ http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/29930-annaberg-cross-stickpin/ To be honest with you, I don't remember that Sepp Dietrich received such crosses http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/ http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepp_Dietrich#D.C3.A9corations Christophe

Very nice, , congrats Christophe

Hi, Interresting, but some questions appears : - Why there is no swords on the second and third ribbons ? If those awards were without cross, regulations said that they should be after the iron cross 2nd class, not before. - The second, thrind and fourth ribbons "seems", (no offense) very new compare to others. So do you use black light to see your ribbon bar ? Let us know the result please ! Christophe

Hi, I can't find such hat in the Kraus' book. Is it possible that this visor hat is post war made. We need the help of Chip to id this one Christophe

Thanks Alex for showing those photos Christophe

Hello, Welcome on board, like Hardy says, good close up will be necessary to read this. Very impressive cross with ribbon, congrats and thanks for sharing this with us Christophe

Hi, Sorry to say that but this medal bar has not belonged to Jacobs, we are ok with that ? In fact Jacobs received only the Hamburg hanseatic cross and not the Lubeck. About uniform shown here, the Feldbinde seems to be a Bavarian one, can you confirm it ? Christophe

Hi, Seems to be a good one, congrats. Christophe

Hi, Nobody has got photos ? Don't hesitate to post yours. Christophe

Hi, Welcome on board, I think you will find all info you need here. don't hesitate to make research, I know there is a lot of topic to this subject. You have very nice medals indeed. Congrats Christophe

New photos Major Frhr von Milkau (SH3 winner) from UR 21. Note that he wore the Austrian commander cross of Iron Crown

Hi Chris, I remember Claudio's photos from Technical Museum where the original medals (medal bars, ribbon bars, Pour le Mérite, Ehrenbecher etc...) are in Germany. So I don't understand if it is possible that the original medals of Jacobs are in the States. Here is the link : http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/46457-oconnor-sammlung/page__hl__%20josef%20%20jacobs__st__20 I've read the O'Connor's book and the Pour le Mérite (without crown) is not the same at all as in the book !!! Christophe

Many thanks for sharing those pictures with us. Christophe

New photos are arrived this morning Leutnant Johannes Behr

Hi, Don't forget that a lot of german soldiers has fought with Finnish army for their liberty. It explains why they received those crosses. yes, this man should wore the cross on his medal bar but after the war some officers took liberty to wear orders like they want. You can find more information about Otto in the Previtera's book, Prussian Blue. Christophe

He received the Cross of Liberty 2nd class with swords on July 1918. Christophe

Hi, The photo was taken on 2 october 1937 Christophe

Hi Eric, I'm interrested of the history of the badge and from which unit it came from. Who were the officers of this unit etc... Thanks. I likek the Freikorps unit and I have only few informations about them. Christophe
