Guest Rick Research Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 :Cat-Scratch: God! How many of this photo are OUT there? Do a search on his name (Strauch) and all is already revealed:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20574&hl=Strauchand http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7180&hl=strauchOr is this the SAME photo being rented around? I sure wish there were as many/any portraits of Paul Wiehr, Commodore of the Hamburg-America Line in the late 1920s. I've got his medal bar and ribbon bar and have never been able to find a photo of HIM!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryG Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Amazing and intriguing! I got this on Ebay. It is on Agfa paper and it does not glow under UV light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 He must have had a suitcase full to hand out to every passenger.Still bothers me deeply that he looks exactly like the American New York character actor Wallace Shawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norstrom Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi Terry! A late answer is also an answer! The second medal is German established after ww1, Freikorps Hamburg. The city of Hamburg still have the three towers as their city arms. The third is Ehrenkreutz f?r frontk?mpfer from ww1. Then you have The Liberty medal for Finland or "Finland?s white rose" and the last one is also a rater ordinary Finnish medal but I cant?t remember its name. I send you some photos!

Norstrom Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Finland?s white Rose. The swastika wasn?t a nazi sign but General Mannerheim?s personal escutcheon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
