W-O-W! What a grouping! That's a remarkable medal bar too: Schinkel EKII, all three 'flower' campaign medals, Hungarian (?) medal, two Spanish campaign medal ribbons with a substitute Memel (?) medal, and the Medalla Militar! An amazing find Jacques - congratulations!

More pictures please!!

Very nice. A trifecta of Flower War Medals !!

Any chance of a reverse closeup of the memel?

[Guest Rick Research]

YUGOSLAV pilots (?) badge and a YUGOSLAV gold "For Zealous Service" merit medal-- from before 1941?

Oooooooooooooooooooo

what Urkunden do you have for all these?

[Guest Darrell]

What medal is this one? Appears to be the same type as the flower war ones

DARREL : you're right, there is something wrong with the medals bar evnen though it comes directly out of the family. the second spanish medal ribbon is the same as for the medalla de la campana, but suspends a Oct 38 medal , and there is no entry of the Austria annexion medal within the Wehrpass.

RICK: the yugo gold medaille document is dated 4 july 1938, and the official german document is dated 4 nov 1938. The pilot badge attribution is entered within the wehrpass on May 28, 1938

I have all the documents, except the Ehrenpokal with was awarded on oct 6, 1940.

I wonder HOW he got the Yugoslav awards? Some sort of private flight for the King? Unique!!!!!

[Jacques]

here is his spanish cross in gold. It is a Juncker manufacture marked "900". He wrote with a charcoal pencil under the hinge.

[Jacques]

here is the document for the Yugo medal.

Interesting Jacques.

Any chance of a closeup of the memel reverse. Always nice to see what the "attributed" ones look like

[Jacques]

I'll take better pics tomorrow with day light.

Please do Thanks.

All of those early decorations... I am surprised to see that he did not get a DKiG by the end of the war. Also, did he start off as an Enlistedman? What was his final rank? Was he wounded?

[Jacques]

He enlisted the Army in 1931, Oberleutnant in 1941 and ended the war as Hauptmann. He was instructor after 1941, I guess it is why he didn't get the DK.

Thanks Jacques. Slanted "G" type. Appears to be the standard for originals.
