    Spanienktreuztr?ger Luftwaffe


    Recommended Posts

    Hi,

    If you have a look to all the pictures of that thread, you will see few others showing the breast star to "Merito en Campa?a" worn by German former members of the LC.

    I guess that around 1000 german soldiers were awarded this high spanish decoration.

    Thanks. I?ve pics from Spanish Pilots at the "Blue Squadron" (Escuadrilla azul), wearing his "Merito en campa?a" Breast star, but not luftwaffe german members...

    Regards

    Ha! I thought the exact same thing when I saw the photo. Would love to see a sharp close-up of his ribbon bar - he looks to have 6 non-German awards (we know at least one is the Spanish Campaign medal...)

    3) a Bulgarian war ribbon award X

    4) Spanish Red War Cross X (Germans just loved sticking Xs on Exotic Foreign Stuff)

    5) ? Rumanian

    6) ? Rumanian

    7) ? Rumanian

    8) Spanish 1936-39 Campaign Medal (those Xs again)

    9) Must be a Rumanian Crusade Against Communism Medal with at least two campaign bars-- very very unusual to find on a German bar

    Does anybody have a photo of Wilhelm Ensslen wearing his Cross with jewels. He was my Grandfathers cousin and i always wondered what he looked like.

    A superb quality tunic in post 98 - love that cord-stitched eagle! (and of course the Spanish Cross)
