Daniel, we are still trying to find out why you can find the Oldenburg cross in all possible combinations of medal-bars and nationalities. Sometimes with a connection to Oldenburg but very often without. Maybe it will remain a mystery forever...
Thanks for your answer. I think I should wait until it has arrived. Then I will make better pics from all sides and can check it for any stamps, try how it works etc.
The following villages in the central battlefield were obliterated: Douaumont Vaux Fleury Haumont Louvemont Bezonvaux Ornes So seven at all. The most other villages were heavily damaged, but those listed here were completely destroyed and never rebuilt. And it is true, that the most inhabitants were evacuated either by the Germans or the french just before or during the attack.
Btw. he is listed in the database of the Volksbund (German War Graves Comission): Nachname: Martin Vorname: Heinrich Dienstgrad: Unteroffizier Geburtsdatum: 24.12.1898 Geburtsort: Todes-/Vermisstendatum: 28.03.1918 Todesort: nicht verzeichnet Heinrich Martin ruht auf der Kriegsgr?berst?tte in F?rin (Frankreich) . Endgrablage: Block 2 Grab 601
"a very strange German mounted award with a Spanish style crown that I do not recognize (some unofficial veterans award???" It looks a little bit like an austrian Franz-Joseph Order.
Here are some pics of the guns: http://www.landships.freeservers.com/37mm_gun.htm http://www.landships.freeservers.com/37mm_sockelflak.htm http://www.landships.freeservers.com/mgm_3...K_kitreview.htm http://www.landships.freeservers.com/new_pages/artillery.htm
