Rusfront Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Who could posess this medal ribbon (there miss Danzig cross 2.Klasse), presumably taken in the Hitler's bunker or in an Rosenberg's estate in May 1945? Now is in the Central museum of the armed forces in Moscow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 The Red Cross Decoration Model 1937-39 was awarded by the rank/status of the recipient--which indicates that this person was no higher than a Captain at that time.There are no long service awards from the Nazi Party-- so either this autumn/winter of 1939 medal bar was never updated in February 1940 or...this person did not qualify for the NSDAP long service crosses.It is very frustrating to have the exact number of awards for the Olympics Decoration and the Danzig Cross and yet to my knowledge, the actual award rolls for these awards are destroyed or lost.Do you know what color the cloth backing on the medal bar is? that MIGHT help if it matches a uniform color--but I think this belonged to a mid-level post-1933 Nazi, probably around the status of a Major or so during the war. From the Austrian, Czech with Prague, and Memel medals, and the Olympics Decoration, I think you are quite correct and this was someone who was on Hitler's personal staff, traveling in his entourage. Maybe some Dr.ing. or Dr.phil. with a Nazi title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusfront Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Grey cloth on the return party... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 That is the classic basic cloth used by the Godet company, so NO help for the wearer's uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
