Guest Rick Research Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Had to have been for truly heroic action during the Firestorm bombing raids earlier that summer. I've got a group to a Reichsbank employee creditted with saving their building there and he only got a KVK2X-- though possibly that was because HIS WW1 Iron Cross was the non-combatant "white black" type. Fantastic group for a home front hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKeating Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 That is an amazing group. It is definitely an award linked to the Anglo-American Terror Bombing. As Rick says, he must have done something truly outstanding. PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well, he was a "carpenter" (Zimmermann) on his Hindenburg document. "Baubearbeiter" = construction ... helper of some sort. I can't figure how to translate "Bearbeiter" that doesn't sound bizarre in English-- collaborator, finisher, reviewer... apparently NOT used as a synonym for foreman, though. Must have done work related to shoring up or knowing where to safely cut through structural woodwork-- essential knowledge for rescue work.

Chris Boonzaier Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I would guess he was attached to the Luftwaffe in an official capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Interesting group Dante.What is his occupation in the Wehrpass?There is a big difference between a Bau-Bearbeiter (a type of civil engineer) and a Bauarbeiter (construction worker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 My confusion on how to translate that into sensible English, exactly. The term implies some sort of "management" but NOT as a foreman, not a dipl. Ing.-- and in the mid 1930s, having been a WW1 reserve NCO-- he was a "carpenter." That doesn't sound like somebody who went to a Technical High School in his ?late 40s. "Consultant"? Does that perhaps approach meaning best, in English?
