#2, Stasi again:

Here are more, maybe from the same source. I think the Stasi ribbon is always a bad sign...

Somebody should be able to tell when and where and why Dr. Stefan/Stephan Billinger got his Doctorate.

Sadly no, can't find him there, I guess this is one of those "invisible" Dr. jur. which were not always required to published a thesis.

BUT - as Google will tell you - what you've got here is the paperwork of the later mayor (Oberb?rgermeister) of Passau, who held this position for many years, at least from 1952 on until 1965.

There seems to be a regimental history for F?sR 90, published in 1924, apparently with a number of illustrations... There are also "Traditionshefte", published in the 1930s.

Wow, that Stammliste is great! What does the rest of the list look like?

Are there more of them around to confirm otherwise invisible awards?

The German admiral is our old friend, the later Generaladmiral Conrad Albrecht. Judging from his rank as Konteradmiral here, the photo must have been taken between 1930 and 1932.

BUT - - - guess you noticed as well - obviously that is not the ribbon bar from the Weitze lot (the Prague bar is missing)!

Might be another, second bar of Filgis - he is missing the Prague bar in the photo as well...

Many thanks for posting the group, a shame that we don't know where is the rest (WP, medals.......)

Yes, thanks, I didn't save the other scans. I only have the text:

Ein ganz toller, einmaliger Nachla? eines Unterf?hrers der Wafen-SS !

And that seems to be a Lübeck hanging down from his buttonhole:

I found him in the Saxon rolls: Urbach got his SA3bX on 8.1.1917 as Prussian Lt dR from "Leiter Zeitung 10. Ar" (?) - was he a war correspondent?

Here's another one, thankfully with a writing on the back. Lt dR Hans Urbach:

Hello,

Foltmann did earn his L?H as a Hauptmann (Acting with the Generalstab IX AK) with date of 02/10/1918

Cordial greetings,

Great additional info! Thanks

Chris

Triple Hanseatic winners are not THAT expectionally rare, I think. Here's another example: Josef Folttmann, ordinary general staff officer during WW1.

Here's a new find regarding the use of ribbon bars in Imperial Russia: During a recent trip to the Imperial War Museum London, I saw this tunic of a Russian Hussar captain - with a ribbon bar. It consists of a St. Stanislaus, St. Anne, and the 1912 medal:

these two are quite easy:

Combos seem to become his specialty:

And it seems he... just... can't... stop!

Yes, the photo shows quite clearly this bar in a period photo!

THAT bar has been on Weitze's site for months, if not years, as part of a large lot to SS-Hauptscharf?hrer Hans Filgis, SS-Panzer-Gren-Rgt. 3 "Deutschland". I am actually surprised Detlev split up the lot, but maybe he just got the ribbon bar. With those devices, ?300 is not too much, I think.

Here's the complete photo of Filgis:

Found some additional information on Fikentscher in an article on him from the Marine-Rundschau 1959:

He got an honorary professorship from the University of Berlin in 1941.

After he retired in 1943, he went zV and became "Bevollmächtigter für sanitäre Planung und Wirtschaft beim Reichskommissar für das Sanitäts- und Gesundheitswesen". He apparently held this position until 1945.

He was released from POW status in June 1947 and became eye specialist in Kiel.

I think this is Generalmajor Otto Meyer (1894-1993), officer of pioneers, DKiG 8.6.1944.

Even faking entire sets:

And an RAD bar - which in this company I really wouldn't touch with a flagpole:

Austrian bar:
