Deutschritter

Seeing the regiment and that he got the BZ3bx, as you wrote, he was probably born in Baden?

Maaß was in the Fliegertruppe? Which unit? As an observer or pilot? Thanks! Here is what I found out about his violent death: "Aus der langen Liste der kommunistischen Überfälle und Morde an Polizeibeamten seien nur zwei Fälle herausgegriffen. Der erste spielte sich bei den Kämpfen gegen die Rote Armee, im Regierungsbezirk Merseburg, bei Gröbers am 30. März 1921 ab."

GM Robert Otto Rudolph von Wegerer (b. 28 August 1867; d. ??.??.1963), son of GM Rudolf Conrad von Wegerer, was Ehrenritter des Johanniterordens. If anyone has a complete list of his WWI decorations, I would really love to see that. Maybe also an exact death date?

Seeing these great pictures, Dave, I am already hoping to see their biographies one day, either here or at AHF.

Thank you, Dave!

Great picture of Hans (or Hans-Eberhardt?) Gandert, Dave! Do you happen to know, if he had the Ehrenbecher? According to Bundesarchiv, BArch RL 5/891, he also received the KVK (1939), 1st Class with Swords.

Does anyone have a picture of U-Boot ace Paul Reinhart von Rabenau, HOH3⚔ on 2 September 1918? Thanks!

Adding Prussian Order of the Crown, 2nd Class with Swords (source: Daniel Krause: Verleihungen von Preußischen Kriegs-Orden und Ehrenzeichen im Ersten Weltkrieg, p. 104)

His known pre-war decorations are: Prussian Centenary Medal 1897 (Zentenarmedaille) Red Eagle Order (Roter Adlerorden), 4th Class (RAO4) Prussian Long Service Cross for 25 years (Königlich Preußisches Dienstauszeichnungskreuz) Chilean Order of Merit (Chilenischer Verdienstorden), 2nd Class (CV2) What neck order is he wearing? Maybe Kronenorden, 2nd Class with Swords?

Gentlemen, I am looking for any- and everything about von Roden (1861-1945). His original name was Emmo Maria Max Wellhausen, he was adopted in 1882. He was promoted to Sekondeleutnant on 12 February 1884. After the war, he commanded the Marine-Brigade „von Roden“. Promoted to Generalmajor on 10 February 1921 with RDA from 1 December 1920 (?) I would really love to know, what decorations he earned in WWI. Thanks!

Deutscher Ordens-Almanach ... but sadly without birth date:
