Slovak Ribbon on German Bar?
Nicolas7507 replied to webr55's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Thank you very much! Oberfeldarzt d.R. Dr. August Brun (15.01.1893-Nach 1969) 01.02.1936 Sanitäts-Abteilung 9 31.03.1937 Sanitäts-Abteilung 36 20.03.1941 Kriegs-Lazarett-Abteilung 520 00.00.1943 Kommandeur Sanitätsabteilung Lemberg Coincidentally he is seen on a photograph with Generalleutnant Kurt Beuttel, whom bar I have as well. What a small world! -
Slovak Ribbon on German Bar?

I have only seen the second and third class on german ribbon bars, but never the first. It seems to be very rare in general. The only bar I can show is this one to an Oberfeldarzt with the second class among other foreign awards. -

Hello, I am trying to identify the signature of this documen, which belonged to a Major Lange, serving with IR114 in May 1917. It could be the following guy, although there is no info about him serving in IR114: Major Lange 1914: Hauptmann in IR113 KO4, HEK3 1918: Major a.D. IR113 This was the closest match I could find. Was there any other Major Lange in IR114? All the best, Nicolas

A small supplement, the reason for his SH3: In den erbitterten Kämpfen der 87. Inf.-Div. in der Sommeschlacht zwischen Vermandovillers und Chaulnes war der Franzose am 6.9.1916 nach starker Artillerievorbereitung in einige Gräben des Schütz.-Rgt. 108 eingedrungen. Sofort sammelte Lt. Poetzsch einige beherzte Leute um sich und drang mit Handgranaten gegen den Feind vor. Eine Schulterwehr nach der anderen wurde gesäubert und nach kurzem, aber heftigem Kampfe streckte der Feind die Waffen. Die Beute betrug 130 unverwundete Gefangene, 3 Maschinengewehre, viele Gewehre und Ausrüstungsstücke. In the bitter fighting of the 87th Inf.-Div. In the summer battle between Vermandovillers and Chaulnes, on September 6th, 1916, after strong artillery preparations, the French infiltrated some trenches of the Schütz.-Rgt. 108. Immediately Lt. Poetzsch collected a few courageous people around him and advanced with hand grenades against the enemy. One shoulder parapet after the other was cleaned, and after a short but fierce battle the enemy surrendered their weapons. The loot was 130 unwounded prisoners, 3 machine guns, many rifles and pieces of equipment.

I think I found a very likely candidate for this bar: Leutnant d.R. Max Pötzsch, who received his St.Henry on 30.10.1916. Furthermore I found a SA-Sturmführer Max Pötzsch in Reichenberg i.V., Sachsen and a Prokurist Max Pötzsch in Plauen, which is very close to Reichenberg i.V.. Possibly our guy. Photos are from an auction in 2016.

I found another possible candidate: 1928 Leutnant des Marineingenieurwesens Ernst Bennewitz EK1, DA, AEZ1 , AK AEZ1 as Torpedomaschinist, 19.09.1912 , III. Halbflotille If he got the Centenary, he would be very good candidate, as the back of the ribbon bar looks like Marine to me. I would greatly appreciate any further Info about him. Nicolas
