Guest Rick Research Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Oh, THAT Doctor Walther Jaensch? [attachmentid=13505] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 That would be, uhhhhh, THIS Doctor Walther Jaensch [attachmentid=13506]From the December 1937 SS Seniority List (quality not great since it is xerox-printed from microfilm, I believe): a racial "body types" doctor with a background in eugenics in the SS, oh my! [attachmentid=13507]Now I don't FIND him in anything neck-elongating, but one has to wonder, doesn't one?What does his Wehrpass show he did during the war?

Guest Rick Research Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 The little circle with an X glyph indicates "any and all other WW1 awards in the SS Seniority Lists, so he got something else from a German state.Meanwhile, back to the 1935 "Wer Ist's?," his BROTHER Professor Erich Jaensch was also Famous And Eminent:[attachmentid=13508] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 EK2 8 October 1914 in Infantry Regiment 22 "Keith" as Assistenzarzt der Reserve = 11th Reserve Division in the Varennes-Malancourt sector of the ArgonneEK1 19 July 1917 in Infantry Regiment 22 "Keith" as Oberarzt der Reserve = horrible losses to gas in untenable ground impossible to hold or shelter in around Lens, involving terrible Allied gas attacksBlack Wound Badge for wound received 22 March 1916 = at (H?)alancourt per the document-- this was during the Verdun slaughter. Moved from the Argonne in March 1916, by May the division had lost 68 percent of its infantry. Posts #s 4-5 are his demobilization paper, discharged in Cassel 20 December 1918 with food allowances etc.Post #6 (re?) appoints him as an Auxiliary Professor (as a recalled civil servant without right to a full time position) of internal medicine at the University of Berlin. He was only 50 in 1939, so why he would have been retired and called back and NOT had pension rights etc seems a bit mysterious... or dodgy. Post #8 shows WW1 EKs 1 & 2, Black Wound Badge, (no other WW1 award as shown by the SS Seniority List), Hindenburg Cross X, and Hungarian WW1 Commemorative Medal (which is not what the SS were counting as a German WW1 award).

Guest Rick Research Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Well, that says per order of III. Armeekorps (Berlin) he was released from active military service as indispensable back to the University of Berlin for three months from Sanit?ts Ersatz Abteilung 3 (also Berlin), sosomewhere in there he HAD been called up for Wehrmacht service after the war started, and there must be firther record of what happened when the three months were up. That 1944 notation is a medical board certification that he was still classified as "fit for war service."Oh, yeah-- and he wasn't entitled to any military allowances during that three months release from duty, either. What DID this guy LIVE on?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 From the bio Rick provided:? Professor? Director of the Ambulatorium (outpatient clinic) for Constitutional Medicine at the Charit? Berlin (the Charit? still exists, but this clinic doesn't appear to).? Docent (Lecturer) at the German University for Physical Exercise (Deutsche Hochschule f?r Leibes?bungen).? After the war, from 1919 to 1929, he was an assistant to Prof. Dr. Gustav von Bergmann, a leading professor of internal medicine.? In 1929 he was certified in internal medicine.? In 1930 he began as a Lecturer at the German University for Physical Exercise.? In 1932 he took the position of Director of the Ambulatorium for Constitutional Medicine.?

Dave Danner Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) By the way, that guy Franz Jaff? has a much more interesting combination of awards than the others there:Prussia, Iron Cross 2nd ClassPrussia, Red Eagle 4th ClassPrussia, Crown Order 4th ClassLandwehr DA 1st ClassLippe, War Merit CrossLippe, Leopold Order 2nd Class Lippe, House Order of the Honor Cross 2nd Class with SwordsSaxe-Coburg-Gotha, Ducal Saxe-Ernestine House Order, Grand CrossFrance, Palmes AcademiquesRomania, Order of the Romanian Crown, Commander's CrossMontenegro, Order of Danilo, Commander's CrossSaxe-Coburg-Gotha, Gold Medal of Merit in Arts and Sciences with CrownToo bad he didn't make it into too many more "Who's Who"s - he died in on July 13, 1937.By the way, he appears to have a Bacon number of at most 4:Jaff? was the set designer for Plague in Florence (1919), which was written by Fritz Lang.Fritz Lang directed American Guerrilla in the Philippines (1950), which co-starred Robert Patten.Robert Patten was in Zigzag (1970) with Eli Wallach.Eli Wallach was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon.

JensF. Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) The name of the village is Malancourt. It is northwest of Cote 304. On march 20 1916 a large attack of bavarian units took place in that area (including 3. InfReg from Augsburg and other units). In the back of that area they had many medical camps etc.>Black Wound Badge for wound received 22 March 1916 = at (H?)alancourt per the document-- this was >during the Verdun slaughter.

Glenn J Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Paul,I tracked down Dr. Jaensch's promotion to Assistenzarzt der Reserve: 24.12.14. Although I can't make out the date on the EK2 document it appears to be signed in June 1915? Presumably therefore Dr. Jaensch was still an Unterarzt der Reserve at the time of the action in October 1914 which won him the award. The gazetting of his promotion shows him as assigned to Reserve-Feldlazarett 31 (VI. Reserve-Korps) in December 1914.RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 I was able to access Jaensch's SS record at the US Archiv. Not alot of information, I guess he just wanted a new black suit to wear to dinner parties so he joined the SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Oh I don't know -his Freikorps service is interesting, as is his EK1-which is unusual for a Dr.. Note also his NSDAP service at the university.He is a classic Maiblumer. with that NSDAP entrance date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
