Spanienkreuz in Gold set.

Sadly denazified, but an interesting set nevertheless. (Interesting he didn't denazify the eagles !)

Nice!

Is this in a German museum Gordon?

Any idea why he has the USN Aviator wings?

..or trained by the American Navy post war and earned their wings??

Sounds reasonable to me Dave.

This is in the museum of the Marineflieger in Nordholz, so I'm pretty sure he served in the postwar Bundesmarine.

Hello,

I'd say the SKiG have its swasticas eagles denazified by broking off one brace.

Werner Kl?mper was born April 19th,1911 in Herne. Arrived to Cadiz November 27th,1936 aboard Stassfurt steamer to start organizing the AS/88 jointly with Dieter Leicht (the first AS/88 KIA)

In Spanish war, captured the ship Nuria (4600Tm) from air, and sunk Delfina (5100Tm).

In WWII was in Stab/KG30; Staffelkapit?n 3./906; Geschwaderkommodore KG26 since march 1943 to Nov.1944.

KC holder 1st Oct.1943

Best regards

Hi Francisco,

I think this is just an illusion caused by shadow. If the photo is brightened you can see, especially on the bottom two swastikas, that they are complete.
