And finally for the spanish cross in bronze without swords. Again same remarks as previously, different texts according to the LW !heer or KM members. first is for LW 2 others for KM

The same observations for the spanish cross in bronze with swords. the text varies according to the appartenance to the Lw/Herr or to the KM. Top is for the LW Bottom for the KM

The text for the spanih cross in silver without sword is the same for the LW and KM.

The text variants of which I'm talking about are in fact in relation with the appartenance to the LW and the Army or to the KM. Top is the text used for a LW spanish cross in silver member (it's probably the same for the army: Bottom is one fo a KM member

Previously I written that documents show some variants in the text. that no thrue for the spanish cross in gold document, at least as far as I've observed in my file pics. the text is always the same for that class (based on 10 docs observed) and it's the following one. Nevertheless, it should be interesting to see a document attributed to a KM member. Does anyone of you own one ?

Another one

Is you SAL who the Detlev's update Spanish cross in gold ? If so, snd me detailed pics It's the L/52 900 massive silver cross.

the reverse of the long one looks like "Nordwind" ones. jacques

I would like to get one too. Even though it was not worn by the LC members, it's a beautiful piece. jacques

Another cuff title from the Panzermuseum.

Here is an uniform with the cuff title. The pic was taken few years ago to the Panzermuseum in Munsterlager.

Hello, I got few pics of this guy. He is wearing the cuff title "1936 spanien 1939". He wears also the cloth badge for signal specialist and a "L" on his shoulder straps. I can't see exactly the piping color, but it looks too dark to be yellow, so I think it's a panzer piping, for the Panzer Lehr Regiment of which the members were entitled to wear this cuff band. Scott Prichett wrote a good stuff about that band on WAF. Hope you will show your band and photos.

Rick, do you think all these ribons original ? jacques

On this one, all the guys seem to wear the badge.

Here is another pic, not from my album, which is the first I saw showing this badge. It is during the Hamburg award ceremony on May 31th, 1939. The officer could be OLT HERTZER. The two next to him are OTL von Thoma and OTL von FUNCK. jacques

Detail of the badge

Few month ago, I bought a group with 2 photos albums from a LC veteran. all the pics were taken in Spain. some of them shown a spaecial cloth badge worn on the left sleeve. The guy issued from the "Nachr. Lehr. Kommando Leignitz" and was committed in Spain from 1938 to 1939. In Spain , he was part of the Imker Horch Kompanie, named Gruppe Wolm. It's was a special Army unit of radio-interception. Wolm was the name of the firt commander of this unit. this unit was engaged on the front lines to get information on the enemy activities. the company was divided in 3 platoon. In 1938, the members worn a special cloth badge on the left sleeve(I don't know which platoon, or the entire Coy). the badge is oval, it represents a leaves wreath with a swastica at the base surrounding a 4 pointed antenna crossed by a bolt of lightning.
