Deruelle Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 The first man looks like Pfeffer von Salomon. Nice photo indeedChristophe

TerryG Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks guys. I was hoping to get a clue as to the identity of the chap. ah well!
Naxos Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks guys. I was hoping to get a clue as to the identity of the chap. ah well!Here is his name on another portrait - just can't read his last name (yet).Hartwig von D ...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) I've seen his face in the Luftwaffe generals' bios, but can't read his scribble either.Taken me a while to get back to this, but did NOT find him in the Generals' bios. Must have seen his face elsewehere. Truly appalling scribbles-- about the worst I've ever seen. Edited July 5, 2009 by Rick Research
Ulsterman Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 .......got this one last weekGood Gosh! Is that the gold version(s) of the SA?
Guest Rick Research Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 LOVELY portrait-- early )1939( Spange, ribbon bar still has the "old fashioned" Xs before they one piece stamped tab-splint Xs came in... even if he WAS the world's oldest Oberleutnant, he was wa snappy dresser and had an impressive array of awards there. :beer:
TerryG Posted August 15, 2009 Author Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks Rick. The photo is postcard size and is very clear indeed. Much better in hand than appears on the screen. I am very pleased with it.
HeikoGrusdat Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I checked a part of my photo collection today and deceided to put some photos on the table for discussion and just for your pleasure...you will see them in some of the ww1 subforums tonight... Here is a really really babyface looking young soldier of the Reichsmarine from mid 1920s - BUT - he has 3 bravery awards of ww1 , a navy wound badge of ww1 and a long service cross for 15 years !!! ah .... and not to forget he wears a Silesian eagle 1.class pinback but no 2.class on the medal bar !!! Great confusing picture....
Guest Rick Research Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 That's an amazing assortment of awards for someone who appears to be an "Oberfeldwebel" level of Warrant Officer.... and neither a submariner nor a flyer.
HeikoGrusdat Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 .........next one : former bavarian soldier , now policeman I think , with eagle second and first class !!! Interesting is the combination on his medal bar with some bravery awards AND a war aid cross - not often seen...

You mean 1943? He has the Ostfront ribbon.
Guest Rick Research Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I think he's a forester, Heiko. 1939 EK 2 Spange with early )1939( shape not the later \1939/.
HeikoGrusdat Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 ....next one - note that he is wearing the enameled version of the eagle !!!
