VtwinVince Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Gentlemen,Here is an early Juncker PO badge, awarded December 1938 to my uncle, Major Dr. Albrecht Ochs. It has the nice cutout between the legs. I also have his other copy, a wartime badge by the "unknown maker".
J Temple-West Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Hi V,I?ve just been looking at the little I can find on your Uncle?s service history and it makes interesting reading.WW1/2 Pilot, 6 victories, survived the war and passed away at the ripe old age of 90.Tell me, did he leave any paperwork, diaries or photographs? If so, perhaps you could tell us a little more about the man and his life.When you get a minute, would you be good enough to post his "Unknown maker" badge as it's always nice to see family pieces.
VtwinVince Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 Hi John,Yes, he did have an interesting career, and was one of only a handful of pilots to score confirmed victories in both wars. I do have an extensive amount of material on him, and will be posting some of the more interesting photos on this site. As requested, here is the other PO.
Richard Gordon Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 V,Fantastic family history and 2 beautiful awards. Thanks for sharing them with us.Do you have any other decorations from your uncle?Rich
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I once sold a very early attributed Assman PO to a forum member, I have no idea who it was anymore :-(If he is reading, how about posting it here?
