Scott Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Nice photo - don't often see the Zeppelin badge in wear.
AlifRafikKhan Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 8. Maybe Braunschweig Kriegsverdienstkreuz?
J Temple-West Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 A slightly better picture of Weidling (Bundesarchiv) should help....
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Alexandre's guesses seem correct. What regards the Kgl. Preuss. Hausordens von Hohenzollern, it can be either a Ritterkreuz or Inhaberkreuz, depending on Weidling's rank when he received it. The last ribbon is certiainly of a foreign award. On the colour photo it looks green, so it can be the knight cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit or Italian Order of SS. Maurice and Lazarus. But it can be also of something else
