    Hi

     

    I am interested to find added info on Lt dR Georg? van der Emde. He is listed in MWB dated 05.09.1918 for receiving the HOH3x. 

    He was l-WIacc on 12.07.1917 but I canot find him in the DVLs. He apparently dont have any known BAMA or BA file. I also cannot find his promotion to Lt dR in the MWB due their poor search function so I lack an Regiment for him.

     

    However I have fair info of his service as observer within the Fliegertruppe during 1917 to 1918.

     

    Anyone who have his date an place of birth or added info on him ?

    He was a Kriegsfreiwilliger in Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 51. On 31.12.1915, he was promoted to Leutnant der Reserve (Arolsen) in that regiment.

     

    He received the Waldeck Silver Merit Medal with Swords on 13.4.1915 as a Kr.Frw. in RFAR 51, the Waldeck Merit Cross 4th Class with Swords on 19.1.1918 as a Lt.d.R. and Beobachter in a Flieger-Abteilung, and the HOH3X on 16.7.1918 as a Lt.d.R. in FA 19.

     

    The family appears to be from Mengeringhausen, Kreis der Twiste, a town near Arolsen which was later incorporated into Bad Arolsen in 1974. I can't find anything further, including confirmation of the first name.

    His first name was Friedrich (Wilhelm)

    Hello friends,

     

    thanks a lot for all these additions!!!!

     

    By the way, I came across a transcription of a list from the Militärkabinett sent to the AOK's late 1918 with a lot of late war awards of HOH3X.

    ALL of the mentioned Reserve and Landwehr guys there were known to us, all were in the big MilKab-file.

    I could confirm quite a few already suspected active Officers and add 16 more until now unknown ones.

     

    8269 names are now on the list, thats only 22 short of the full known number of 8291... 

     

    ...BUT...out of these, 146 are only halfway confirmed chaps from secondary sources, which I would like to confirm a 2nd or 3rd time... List below.

     

    I am quite suspicious about any Reserve or Landwehr or Non-Prussians mentioned somewhere with the HOH3X, which are not listed in the MilKab-File or where we do not have any official source.  I am quite sure, there were plenty of nice little mistakes in the old newspapers. Maybe a guy got a HEK instead a HOH, was put in for one but did not get it or whatever.

     

    O'Connor for example mentioned as well a lot of HOH3X-holders, some are mistakes.... Erhard Milch for example. His Medal Bar is known, no HOH3X.

     

    About the mentioned Full Colonels - please be very careful with obituaries and 2nd class sources like newspapers...

    Schmettow for example held a PEACETIME HOH, no swords. in 1917 he received the KO2X.

    Launhardt got a Red Eagle 3 with WHITE ribbon - no swords - in Sept 1918. No HOH3X.

    Walter von Schwerin is mentioned with the HOH3X in the Regimental History of 4th GFAR in 1917, most likely wrong, he's got the KO2X.

    Up to late 1915, full Colonels did indeed get the HOH3X, this was changed in 1916, as Colonels got the KO2X. Mostly this guys held positions of a MajGen, so at least they received a nice neck order from that time on.

    From the quite early HOH3X in 1915, a few are only mentioned in the Staatsanzeiger, not in the Militärwochenblatt.

     

    All the best,

    Daniel

    Daniel, I have to disagree completely. We are not high school students here who don’t know how to do archival work. You cannot dismiss all those as “secondary sources”. In that case you can throw all the cases that me and others have found in newspapers throughout the last years into the dustbin. You could have said this right away, that you don't like our second class sources: "I am quite suspicious about any Reserve or Landwehr or Non-Prussians mentioned somewhere with the HOH3X, which are not listed in the MilKab-File or where we do not have any official source.  I am quite sure, there were plenty of nice little mistakes in the old newspapers." If you had said that right away, it would have spared me and many others here a lot of time. And then I don’t want to be part of this project anymore. 

     

    You don’t seem to have any argument against my theory, you are just repeating what you said before. There is nothing that rules out that full colonels could have received the HOH3X at the late stages of the war. And you could not dismiss all my 5-6 such cases listed in this thread. One or two might be mistakes, but not five or six. Launhardt's obituary came from one of the most prestigious German newspapers. It has a lot of details, must have been compiled by someone with intimate knowledge of his career, most probably someone from his regiment or other unit. To simply ignore this, is just arrogance, sorry. 

     

    You still seem to think there are some genuine “sources” against which you can check whether someone “really” got the HHOX. There is not. There is much more uncertainty, in German sources as well as elsewhere. 

     

    I would like to remind you: years ago, YOU asked for help here.

    Nono, thats a complete misunderstanding and thats far away from my intentions.

    I am very happy with all the help from you and all the others.

     

    Lets clear that via telephone?

     

    Best,

    Gentlemen, does anyone know anything about Hauptmann Paul Zachariae(-Lingenthal), b. 1878, possibly from the 4. Hannoversches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 164? HOH3X according to Gothaisches Genealogisches Taschenbuch der Adeligen Häuser'', Teil B, 1942. In 1923, he was serving as a Major in the 9. (Preußisches) Infanterie-Regiment of the Reichswehr. In 1941, he was serving as a Lieutenant Colonel with the Luftwaffe. Thanks!

    Hello Deutschritter,

    yes, Zachariae is from the IR 164.

    His Hohenzollern was published in the Staatsanzeiger 04.09.1917, in the Militärwochenblatt 08.09.1917.

     

    Best,

    Daniel

    Thank you, Daniel. Then his son was Edel-Heinrich Theodor Wolfhart Zachariae von Lingenthal, Major i. G. (Wehrmacht), Brigadegeneral (Bundeswehr), Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 18 September 1943 as Hauptmann (Captain) and Commander of the II. Battalion/Panzer-Regiment 15/11. Panzer-Division. Another son was Lienhard (b. 31 July 1922 in Hameln), 2nd Lieutenant of the Wehrmacht, ⚔ on 7 July 1942 3 km off the road from Voronezh.

    Hi all, 

    This could be a new one - former WW1 ace Otto Creutzmann 

     

    Creutzmann, Otto.JPG

     

    This is really great, thank you! Wikipedia even has an article, claiming he was Oberleutnant in WWII (I just changed that and added some infos). Now we know he was Lieutenant Colonel. He was severly wounded on 10 January 1943 and died on 12 January 1943 at the Reserve-Kriegslazarett 15/VI Proskurow. Between the wars he was Gutspächter (Tilleda). 

    Maybe someone has a picture?

    Hi,

    when he was wounded in May 1918 he was Leutnant der Reserve, according to the Army loss lists.

    The Wikipedia article on him claims he was wounded in 1915 as an infantrist. This may be the case, but this incident was not registered in the loss list.

    That is true, of course, but the Verlustlisten are not complete ... many times I have not found a wounded soldier, even though he had been awarded a wound badge. Being wounded with the Royal Saxon 5th Field Artillery Regiment No. 64 in 1915 does make sense, so many members of the Fliegertruppe transferred there after being wounded in their Stamm-Regiment. 

     

    Greeting.

    Hi,

    A new first name: Carl Maier, whose HOH3x was noted in the MWB dated 15th October 1918. This announcement in 'Der Postillon' is dated 19th August, nearly two months before it was gazetted in the MWB. He also had the WF3bx. 

     

    If anyone has more information on this man, I'd be happy to hear from you ;)
