Tauchnitz received the HOH3X on 24.6.1918 while serving in Fliegerabteilung 270 Lb. Unfortunately, there were three Saxon Leutnants d.R. Tauchnitz who served with the Fliegertruppe: Bernhard, Christian (*6.9.1890 in Leipzig-Lößnig) and Stephan (*11.10.1889 in Leipzig, †23.12.1962 in Bad Homburg v.d.H.). I've no idea which one was in FA 270 Lb. Maybe Gunnar can help. Bernhard seems most likely, since he had the SH3. 2 hours ago, Deruelle said: Dresdner Nachrichten 8 August 1918 Hptm.a.D.

Soderbaum Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Hi Dave, Regarding the Lt dR Tauchnitz in FAA 270, I am also rather convinced that Bernhard is the wanted man. He like many Saxons flyers do not have any BAMA or BA file. He got an "anerkennung" on 21.05.1918 published in the weekly Kofl 3. An anerkennung nearly always lead to an "higher" award for flying officers. For non-officers it nearly always lead to an extra higher promotion. For example Johannes Ziegler also from FAA 270 received an anerkennung in 02.1918 which lead to that he received the Hohx on 09.04.1918. Later on Johannes received at least one more anerkennung which meant that he was vorgeschlagen for the PLM. Gunnar

Dave Danner Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Richard Becker was awarded the HOH3X on 9.8.1918 as a Leutnant der Landwehr in Landwehr-Feldartillerie-Regiment 252. 1
Dave Danner Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 The RFAR 20 officer was likely Gerhard Becker from the reserve of FAR 10, one of RFAR 20's parent regiments. The other Becker from FAR 10, Leo, was killed in action in 1915 as a Hptm.d.R.

webr55 Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Did GenLt Carl Briese receive the HHOX before his PLM? He is credited with it on Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Briese), and the picture shown there might have the HHOX in second place:

webr55 Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 According to the Generals' Bios Series, GM Arthur von Briesen got the HHOX as well, not just GdI Kurt von Briesen.

Their information is incorrect. I have reviewed Arthur-Hemann v. Briesen's HPA file. No Hohenzollern. On the other hand, here is a Wehrmacht general whom we can confirm did have the HOH3X: Siegfried von Rekowski's WW1 decorations, including the HOH3X, are undated in his HPA file. Here are his later awards: 02.10.1936 Wehrmacht (Heer) Dienstauszeichnung 2. bis 4. Klasse xx.xx.1940 Wehrmacht (Heer) Dienstauszeichnung 1. Klasse xx.xx.1939 Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1.
