From U-Boat Ace to the Luftschutz.

[Gordon Williamson]

A couple of nice documents from the collection of the U-Boot Archiv.

Hersing's Truppenausweis from 1920, then serving on Linienschiff Braunschweig

And it appears that during WW2 he served in a Werkluftschutz unit. Note the mini PLM lapel badge !

Unfortunately behind glass in a dimly lit room so hard to photograph. Again the lapel miniature of the PLM in wear.

Gordon, thanks for posting that photo. The mini isn't centred on the ribbon, but appears to be suspended from the ribbon, similar to the one shown in the 1930's era Godet catalogue! The type usually seen has the cross -on- the ribbon, not suspended from. Neat to see photo documentation for the catalogue version!

I agree!! That is one heck of a grouping! I bet that there was no other LS member that was authorized to wear that award! What was his rank in the WerkLuftschutz?
