christerd Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Unusual Award-paper for Honor Cross What is so strange about this paper? Well its issued by the German Consulate in Apenrade ,Hmm to a Karl Hellweg in Sonderburg and he is to get an Honor cross for fighters , and hes military duty is shown in his "milit?rpass" so whats unusual about that? Sonderburg ! That?s in Denmark !! But in 1914-1918 Sonderburg belonged to Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) but after a public vote in 1920 it was decided that it would belong to Denmark. So this guy lived in Gemany 1918 and in Denmark 1935 but still got the Honorcross. Interesting, its the only paper to a Danish ( well, ex german) I seen Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 This thread has been quiet for a while, so I thought I would horrify you guys with the world's most expensive badly forged FAKE Hindenburg Cross document:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28978&hl= :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Someone with more money than brains, unfortunately. Not us here. We have more brains than money! Here is a newspaper clipping from 18 October 1934-- just this, so I don't know what paper it came from. A local friend brought this over a while back when all his treasures got scanned. I thought it would be interesting to share--It is rather cranky about people thinking they could have the Hindenburg Cross with swords just for having been in a unit that was in combat--when they were not. It states that they are required to PROVE from their military papers or other confirmation that they temselves were in action, and not simply a meber of a unit that was.This may explain many of those combatant Iron Cross/"noncombatant" Hindenburg Cross medal bars we see-- as "4th Boonzaier Scenario" Iron Cross awards to war zone folks near but not in the frontlines.(All we need is a documented GROUP with complete award documents and military papers confirming that 4th type of Iron Cross awards....

christerd Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 :jumping: Fantastic Rick ! 1500 $ for that I thought I have seen all...... But I wonder, did the F?hrer himself get an award cert? Or did he just get the medal without any paperwork Have a nice weekend all Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabnus Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 How about the irony of Ludendorff and Hindenburg being both in command in wwI and then Ludendorff getting a Hindenburg award later? I'd not be too hapy with that if i were him? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 From what I understand the criteria for these awards,required the soldier / veteran to apply for his medal from 1934 onwards,furnishing the relevant documentation of service, etc..etc..Can we expect that:Kaiser Bill (Non-Combatant?)Luddendorf,Hindenburg,or even Hitler, even bothered to apply Kevin in Deva. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 The Kaiser couldn't have-- he was in exile and "nonexistent" as a person. Hindenburg was conveniently dead. Hitler NEVER wore his ribbons so as you say, what would have been the point?Ludendorff was off sulking, having fallen out with the Nazis, and even though he didn't die until 1937, I don't think I've ever seen him wearing his medal bar after the Beer Hall Putsch trial.
