Spanienkreuztr?ger in LC uniform

[Jacques]

This one is interesting. I don't really know if he is a lufwaffe member. Which is interesting is that the photo was taken after the return from Spain because he is wearing the spanish cross, but he is also wearing the hat. If you have a closer look you will also see that he has the embroidered staff badge close to his spanish cross.

And the "1936-39" campaign medal-- didn't most German recipients NOT get that until after the world war had started????

[Jacques]

Hi,

The last contingent was awarded it in Spain. Fort the others I don't know. I guess that all the document were sent later, after the return to Germany.

Studio photo in LC uniform too

This one was taken just before or after the Berlin parade on June 6th, 1939

I've just bought my first Condor Legion wehrpas:

Oberwachtmeister Anton G?dda,

Spanish Cross in Silver, Medala de la campana , cruz roja , KvK II & another award I can't read.

And for some reason I can't post more photos re. units & awards.

I'll try later.

It seems that the picture was taken just before the Berlin parade on May 6th, 1939 .

Great photos! Perhaps it's the lighting, but the officer marching in post #6 seems to be wearing the ribbon of the White war service cross and the Spanish Cross with swords. I would have thought the white cross would have earned a Spanish Cross without swords?

On post "6" he is not wearing the white service cross but the "Medalla militar".

Concerning the white cross, I can't affirm there is direct relations between this decoration and the swords. I saw grouping where the recipient received either the silver or gold cross with swords and the "Cruz blanca del merito militar".

Ahhh - the Medalla Militar! Looking very closely now, I do notice the top of the medal.

Thank you Jacques!
