    1. hello, i have a grouping to a man named Karl Gigl who was a member of the 9. J.R. 133, G.E.B I/133, and the 9./GREN.RGT.133. the grouping is three award documents for the ostfront medal, black wound bagde, and assault infantry badge and the awards with them. i am asking for information on Karl Gigl or information on these groups he served with. thanks john
    2. hello, i am also trying to research another grouping named to Kurt Juskowiak. i dont know as much about him but there are more documents with this grouping than the others. there are a couple of award documents, a couple of postcards i believe, militarypass, letter, etc. the only award with the grouping is his ek2. i cant read any of it so i ask for help in researching mr Kurt Juskowiak and his service in the war or any other information on the documents or can be found elsewhere. thanks john
    3. hello, i would like some opinions on this medic group. i believe the medal bar but have no idea on the documents. please help me with the documents and medal bar.
    4. is there anything that can be found or any help in finding information on Theo Weber? please help thanks john
    5. is there any information regarding these ships and there service? are there any photos of them or any of the crews? he served on the Battlecruiser Derfflinger during WW1, which saw a lot of action in the North Sea during that time, including the Battle Of Jutland. She was the second ship in the battlecruiser line and was hit 21 times during that great sea battle and 157 men were killed on the ship, the highest number of casualties on any ship that wasnt sunk. The second sheet covers his actual service.,taken from his paybok details in order to prove his entitlement. As you will see, he joined the Navy as a young man in 1906 as part of the Ship's Youth detachtment. It goes on to list all the ships he served on, the Charlotte, the Medusa, the Burgermeister, the Seeadler, the Dfr Prinzregent u. Brandenburg, the Von der Tann, u. Schwaben, the Konig Wilhelm, the Viktoria Luise. These will be fairly easy to research. It then goes on to list his ranks and finally his awards, EKII, Long service cross etc. He served throughout WW1 and was discharged in 1921

    7. here is somemore information translated from the documents that come with the medal bar: The first document details the award of the Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer (Cross of Honour / Hindenburg Cross) for serevice in WW1 to a former member of the Navy who was currently employed as an official of the Reichsbank in Munchen Gladbach. Due to the millions of these medals being awarded it took years for them all to get processed.
