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.

very nice-esp. the signals intelligence during the "English and American attacks against Germany". Apparently sitting behind a radio somewhere listening in.....

Thanks guys, can anyone explain the EK1&2 for signals intell, and no other medals ffrom 1941?

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.
