Thanks to the never-ending efforts of the Guild Of Research Gnomes, there is additional personal data from newly discovered period reference sources which you may want to pencil into the relevant columns of your books. These Third Reich organizational affiliations will be of great help in sorting out groups to previously "invisible" officers:

I will post such "updates" there in the sales thread as long as Daniel and I have any available and post the link here since those of you who have already obtained copies wouldn't be looking in that section to spot such updates.

Thanks to Glenn, Chris, and Christophe!

If you have any questions about the new data, ask away here.

Hi Rick,

In the vol. 18, Hohenzollern 1914-47. one small error appeared

Hischmann was born on February, the 3rd 1882 in Schwarzach B?hl near Pforzheim. He died at L?chelles on July, the 18th 1918.

Hi Christophe,

Hischmann, Ernst, then VFw (OffzSV) d.R. FR 40 received the Silver Merit Cross, not HEK3X on 20.01.15.

Best regards

Daniel

Christophe-- no-- that CONFIRMS the Roll, though the dates are off. It says

Frst. Hz. s. V.

K. m S.

which is

Princely Hohenzollern Silver Merit

Cross with Swords

and then the ROYAL (Prussian) HOH3X (" K. Hs. O. v. Hz. R. m. S.") 31.10.17 lower down above his two Orders from Baden.

It's the weird abbreviations those Kriegsranglistenausz?ge used. Nothing like the Ranglisten abbreviations.
