    1. I vote for Deumer. As far as I know Deschler made only bavarian decorations.
    2. 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...
    3. hahaha Can't stop. Theodor, how did you identify it?
    4. Haha Still have to laugh. Haha I paid 1 Euro, so....
    5. Hahaha thats really cool!!! Maybe from a Feld-Barbier. lol
    6. 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.
    7. 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.
    8. I am No. 4 from right in this pic: http://www.altearmee.org/html/body_verdun2006_0.html
    9. My first idea is the huge "15 cm Kanone". But we have to know if there are navy stamps (crowned "M") on the bottom.
    10. 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
    11. Thanks, but I search a real citation from a soldier who got this award. For example "He captured 20 machine guns..." etc.
    12. "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.
    13. Does someone has the text of a citation for this cross? It would be interesting to read, for which level of actions and deeds it was awarded.
    14. Very nice to see, that the shells had a good pullover. Sometimes it was cold at the western front.
    15. What is the exact lenght and inner diameter in cm?
    16. 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
    17. For your information: http://213.147.167.60/blaze/viewtopic.php?...der=asc&start=0 http://www.geocities.com/russianammo/57mm.html#24
    18. I think I am too late to help here. No football and no traffic jam, just one week on duty with the Bundeswehr including shooting this great baby here with a life round! http://www.waffenhq.de/infanterie/panzerfaust3.html
