Dave Danner Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) The Lt.d.R. Fiebelkorn from Armee-Flugpark 7 whose HOH3X was awarded by AKO on 1.11.1918 and recorded by the Abteilung IIa of AOK 7 is almost certainly Eduard Kurt Georg Fiebelkorn, *7.4.1894 in Berlin. His EK1 was also recorded by the Abteilung IIa of AOK 7 in its "25. Nachweisung über verliehene Eiserne Kreuze 1. und 2. Klasse" for the period 1.8.17-31.8.17. At the time, he was a Lt.d.R. (Charlottenburg) of Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 10, commanded to Flieger-Abteilung (Artillerie) Nr. 260. I've no idea if he was a Flugzeugführer or Beobachter. The Militär-Wochenblatt gives his commissioning date as 27.1.16 and Meldeamt as "(V Berlin)", so the Meldeamt either changed or one of sources made a mistake.

Dave Danner Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 The Aachen-born Paul Rosenbaum received the HOH3X on 7.7.1918 while in IR 57. Based on the date of the Essener Volkszeitung, that's him.

Dave Danner Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Speaking of Reinholds, the HOH3X recipient from RIR 27 was the later Generalmajor Reinhold Dahlmann, not Luftwaffe Generalleutnant Hermann Dahlmann. Reinhold was Regimentsadjutant of RIR 27 from 1916-17 and Brigadeadjutant of the 108. Infanterie-Brigade thereafter. Known decorations for Reinhold are: xx.xx.14 EK2 28.09.15 EK1 09.06.17 HOH3X xx.xx.1x MMV2 06.05.18 MMV1 xx.xx.3x Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer 02.10.36 Wehrmacht (Heer) Dienstauszeichnung 4. bis 1. Klasse The MMV2 was likely in 1917 or 1918, after he was Adjutant of the 108.IB, since RIR 90 was also in the brigade. It wasn't gazetted in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Regierungsblatt, which stopped publishing awards in September 1917. Mecklenburg-Schwerin sometimes awarded both classes at the same time, so it might be the same date as the MMV1. As for Hermann Dahlmann: Leutnant im IR 82, FA A 252, Jasta 29, Oberleutnant JG 3, 1920-33 Polizei, 1933-39 Wehrmacht-Beamter im RLM, ab 1939 Luftwaffe-Offizier.

Dave Danner Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Major Sellier from FußAR 1 and the Oberkommando der Heeresgruppe Deutscher Kronprinz was Louis August Numa (not Suma), *14.6.1872 in Jena, †27.10.1945 in Biesenthal, Barnim. Besides his known wartime awards, he received the RAO4 in the Ordensfest 1914. A Hauptmann in FußAR 1, commanded to the Großer Generalstab, he was placed zur Disposition in early 1914 and was sent as part of the German military mission to Bolivia in mid-1914. On returning to Germany, he was given the Charakter of Major z.D. on 27.1.15 and then reactivated as a Major on 3.3.15. He was discharged in 1919 and given the Charakter of Oberstleutnant a.D. His son Manfred Sellier (2.12.1898-23.1.1968) was a Leutnant in FußAR 5, commanded to the Fliegertruppe and twice wounded. He was an Oberstleutnant in the Luftwaffe. He received the MMV1 in 1918 as a Leutnant in FA A 245. His Wikipedia bio says he also had the EK1. Other than the WLDA4, I've no idea what Wehrmacht decorations he might have added. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Lt dR Pense from GR 12 got later a Schlageterschild. I couldn't find his first name though. Westfälische Landeszeitung Hagen, 23.3.1934 Adam Kaus, Hptm dR, died as Major and Kdr of a Luftwaffenbaubataillon in 1941. Westfälische Landeszeitung Castrop-Rauxel, 26.11.1941 This is an interesting case, since no Luftwaffe connection was recognizable so far, at least not for me. Do we know anything more about his other awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Pense is Dipl.-Ing. Franz Paul, born on 19.5.1892 in Bitterfeld. He was in Sturmbataillon Rohr. Adam Kaus was born on 1.10.1880 in Darmstadt and died on 8.11.1941 in Luftwaffenlazarett Bukarest. He commanded Luftwaffen-Baubataillon 17/IV and died of a diabetic coma. Other known awards are the Landwehr-Dienstauszeichnung 2. Klasse (LD2), Hessisches Allgemeines Ehrezeichen "Für Tapferkeit" (HT), k.u.k. Österreich-Ungarisches Militärverdienstkreuz 3. Klasse mit der Kriegsdekoration 3. Klasse (ÖM3K), and Verwundetenabzeichen in schwarz. As a native of Hessen serving most of the war in Hessian regiments (IR 168 and RIR 254) and recipient of the HOH3X and EK1, he also no doubt had the Kriegerehrenzeichen in Eisen. His HOH3X came on 30.8.1918 while in RIR 252, a Thuringian regiment, but he has not shown up in any of the known Thuringian state award rolls. There's a picture of him in the RIR 254 history, but it's a group photo and there's not much detail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 For some reason I thought I had already posted this, but a search gives no results. The Major d.R. Cleve who received the HOH3X on 12.5.1918 was Richard, born 20.6.1869 in Loischwitz, Oels. He was a Distriktskommissar in Crone an der Brahe and a reserve officer of IR 51. - 14.9.1889 in das Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 51 eingetreten - 18.1.1891 Sekondelieutenant - 12.9.1894 zu den Reserve-Offizieren des Regiments übergeführt - 16.12.1899 Oberleutnant der Reserve - 20.7.1907 Hauptmann der Reserve - xx.xx.191x Kommandeur des 3. Westfälischen Landwehr-Infanterie-Bataillons Breslau - 22.5.1915 Charakter als Major der Reserve, z.Zt. Kommandeur des zusammengesetzten Ersatz-Bataillons 11/51 The combined Ers.Btl. 11/51 was the II. Bataillon of Landwehr-Ersatz-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 8 (LEIR 8). LEIR 8 later became IR 353 of the 88. Infanterie-Division. Also in that division was LEIR 9/IR 354, which had a Saxon bataillon (from Landwehr-Brigade-Ersatz-Bataillon Nr. 48). Cleve was apparently commanded to that regiment in 1914/15, as he received the SA3aX on 15.4.1915. He also had the LD1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Ostrach is in Kreis Sigmaringen. Albert Müller was a Leutnant der Reserve in LIR 13 and received the Fürstlich Hausorden on 8.12.1916. If he also received the Königlich Hausorden, he might be the Lt.d.R. in IR 468, although IR 468 was a hessisch regiment and LIR 13 was westfälisch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
