I agree!! That is one heck of a grouping! I bet that there was no other LS member that was authorized to wear that award! What was his rank in the WerkLuftschutz?

I did not know that the Navy had mortarmen!! Very unique story there!

That photo is sobering. Were the surviving two seen as heroes? Did they receive a decoration for this event? What medals are the Sergeant on top of the tank wearing?

What else can you tell us about Debrueres? It sounds like he made it the deepest into German lines...

I am surprised to see that the woolen items held up so well under the sea...

It could be the order to initiate the plan over thow Saddam!! Would that not be a riot! LOL

Thanks for the comments! So Chris, What you are saying is that these cards were reproduced in the 1000s during the war and sold as souvenirs? Ulsterman, since these post cards were massed produced, are these WW1 era reprints considered to be reproductions? Some of the photos I think are originals(glossy finish). Hardy, That tank looks like it was taken out by something really big. What type of round do you think hit it?

Nice one Wild Card! Do you know any of the stories behind his Order of Glory citations?

Mike, I really like that letter a lot!! Perhaps Lorenzo knows someone who could translate it for you? I would start another thread on it, as it is worthy of it's own discussion! Regards Paul

This is one thread that has kept my interest!! Keep it coming guys!

Bill, It is nice to see your document finally arrived. I still think that you should write a book on the Engineers!

That is unique!! I wonder what he used?

The Diver's badges are amazing!

I would have liked to have seen what it was like before!! A most awesome collection. I love the '57 WW1 bar with the EK1!

What type of tunic is it?

Congratulations. I have not seen one of those before!

Lets see the boards!!!!! :jumping:

Thanks Torsten!!!! :cheers:

Are you sure they are carmine? There was a rose pink waffenfarbe for tabs as well and those are much rarer!!

I cannot image too many Stabsmusikmeisters with the 4th LW Flak Regiment. I bet that this can be tracked down to one or two people. Where can I begin to look into this?

4th Flak Regiment. I am sure that were not too many Stabsmusikmeisters in this Regiment. I bet that this board could be narrowed down to one or two people!!!! Paul

I still love that tunic...! Here is the newest relevant piece! A FD Major's board.

A really nice shoulder board for a Stabsmusikmeister for the 4th Flak regiment. Something this specific MIGHT be able to be ID'ed?
