Imperial German Naval Sword named to Andersen

[Poison Dwarf]

The amount of WORK this took back in the late 1950s sending letters back and forth, tracking down former naval officers and their next of kin is something Google searching instant results folk cannot comprehend.

Herr Hildebrand was quite pleased that anyone was still interested after 45 years! The originals were sent out in sections with 3 ring binder punches by subscription, so finding complete originals is both virtually impossible and extremely expensive.

Jeez, Rick, that sounds like an endorsement to me. So am I to understand that all the details of the two officers related to this sword would be included in Paul's reprint?

Paul: Is your document a printed piece or a .pdf?

I mean, you guys have coughed up such good information that I am wondering whether there's anything else to say about these boys? If there's more out there, I'd be happy to spring for it.

Thanks,

Mark

Imperial promotion dates and pre-WW1 assignments from annual naval Rank Lists, WW1 service from the 1914-1918 Marine Ehrenrangliste, inter-war from the periodic directories of the Marine Offiziere Verband, WW2 from Hildebrand.

No such thing as One Stop Shopping except for admirals and generals.

Very nicely reprinted in book format Hildebrand-- lives on my computer desk shelf next to the other Always At Hand sources.
