My father served in the GMSA. He was a OLtzS and served as first watch officer on the Tender "Jagd" out of Cuxhaven until 1947. I will try to post some Pictures.

it is interesting to note, that the officers continued to wear their KM Uniform , without the insignia on the cap and on the jacket.

The 2007 Njiemegan march medal had a crown on it? :0 I', surprised not to see a DSB badge there too!

Gentlemen,

here is my family collection. My Grandfathers, my fathers and my humble one.

WW1 WW2 and gladly only cold war.

everybody can get this medal. it is the only one approved by the Bundespräsident and therefore can be worn on uniform. the conditions are 5 different sports achievements. not very easy.though.you can find them under "Bedingungen für Deutsches Sportabzeichen" google and then start your workout.

hi,

you are right, I skipped the FEDERALLY. and my son was in officers boot camp in Ploen at the time and his company was at the river oder for 4 days hauling sandsacks to the dykes. it worked.

and yes off course I am proud.

(Einsatzmedaille Fluthilfe 2002) Awarded to members of the German armed forces, of foreign armed services, of civilian rescue forces and to foreign citizens who assisted with the flood disaster relief efforts in Germany in the summer of 2002. It was approved for wear by the Minister of Defence but was created by the Ministry of the Interior. The medal is awarded in the same class to all German soldiers regardless of rank. It is the only type of its kind in the German awards system. Some German federal states created their own flood medals for its citizens, but the Flood Service Medal 2002 is the only federally created flood relief decoration in Germany.

no it is not. there was the flutmedaille 1962 which was awarded by three states, Hamburg, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein.

Hi,

here is my father (Crew XII 39) in 1942 as Oberfähnrich zur See wearing his EK s and the destroyer badge. To my knowledge he was the only ACTIVE (not reserve or come up thru the ranks) Oberfähnrich zur See to get the EK I and EK II at the same time

Hi,

please allow me to post a question concerning my grandfather Dr. ing Carl Meyer- As he and my father are long gone, the family insists that my grandfather while as an architect helped to construct the Edertalsperre near Waldeck received an order from Waldeck, something like Verdienstkreuz 4 Klasse around the turn of the century. Can anyone (Rick Research hero) enlighten me.

thanks for all

Juergen

looks prety authentic to me. the inscript means Fliegerhorst Holtenau which is airbase Holtenau which is the airfield of Kiel on the baltic sea. still in use today as the home of the German naval air wing 5 (SeaKing helos)
