You don't happen to have a death date? Thanks! To all: I found a "Josef Ernst Dewies" at ancestry.de. As a non-paying member, they will not let me see the data. If anyone is a paying member, please make a screenshot of the available information. At least we could find out, who he married in Berlin and when. Dewies married Gertrud Maria Kutscheidt in Berlin-Wilmersdorf on 19th July 1923. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Not sure: is that Karl Maaß? In any case, he was killed as Polizei-Hauptmann in 1921: 8.4.1921 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Yes that's right my friend. His pre-war regiment was IR 170 and he also had the BZ3bx. He later served in the Fliegertruppe..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Here's a first name, but you'll have to squint to read it - Lt dR Karl Peltzer. This is from 'Die Luftflotte' dated September 1918. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He later served in the Fliegertruppe..... Maaß was in the Fliegertruppe? Which unit? As an observer or pilot? Thanks! Here is what I found out about his violent death: "Aus der langen Liste der kommunistischen Überfälle und Morde an Polizeibeamten seien nur zwei Fälle herausgegriffen. Der erste spielte sich bei den Kämpfen gegen die Rote Armee, im Regierungsbezirk Merseburg, bei Gröbers am 30. März 1921 ab." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) Here is some more info on some Müller, though I couldn't find his first name and cannot tell who this would be in our list: Landesoberbaurat (in 1938) Müller (-Hannover), obviously born in 1888, Pionier Officer during the war Hannoverscher Kurier, 13.5.1938 Some more info on Ernst Dieterichs: Hannoverscher Kurier, 10.9.1934 Edited April 28 by webr55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 One of the two Lt dR Schönberg in our list must be the later Prof. Dr. Fritz Schönberg (1897 in Gartz - 1963): https://gepris-historisch.dfg.de/person/5110981 Hannoverscher Kurier, 9.4.1935 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the second ribbon from left from Württemberg? Would he have received the KVK as Ic/Koluft AOK 9? Thanks! Edited May 3 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Luftwaffe personnel file might have more, but who knows. Luftwaffe files are terribly organized and rarely have information on wartime awards. Thank you, Dave! He served with the Feld-Artillerie-Regiment "Prinz-Regent Luitpold von Bayern" (2. Württembergisches) Nr. 29 (Einjährig-Freiwilliger?) before joining the Fliegertruppe. Maybe you can identify the third ribbon from left and second ribbon from right (maybe something Bavarian)? Here is what I have (ribbon bar), what else am I missing? Iron Cross, 2nd Class Gold Military Merit Medal on 2 March 1917 (no longer entitled to display the medal after receiving the Military Merit Order?) Military Merit Order (Württemberg), Knight's Cross on 2 August 1917 House Order of Hohenzollern, Knight's Cross with Swords (1918?) Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918 with Swords Edited May 3 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
