Andwwils Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) The man's name appears to be Franz Bohm, with an umlaut on the "o" in his last name. Last rank that's visible from the scans is Hauptmann (1.7.1943). Received his EKI while serving with II battalion of Luftwaffenachtrichten Regiment 32. Extensive service in both staff, combat and combat-related units it appears. Battle entries are interesting as well. Very nice pass.

Ulsterman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 very nice-esp. the signals intelligence during the "English and American attacks against Germany". Apparently sitting behind a radio somewhere listening in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) He didn't qualify for any campaign medals, wasn't in the RAD to get their medal. the LS Wehrmacht medals were suspended in 1940 (?) and apparently his CO didn't rate him a KVKx, the usual reward fro Nachtrichten troops, but instead gave him an EK1: probably merit rather than bravery.Note where he was from November 1941 to July, 1942!He didn't have any wounds-so no wound badges and apparently he did not partake in any direct assaults-so no GAB for him.Not a bad war really.
