    Bonjour monsieur,

    as far as I can see, Vicefeldwebel Warczecha got the second class of the OL Ehrenkreuz, not the third class. Date of issue: 27.06.1918. Is there any chance, to get a detailed photo of this decoration?

    Best regards

    Kapitular

    As of 1 December 1937

    SS Obersturmf?hrer (13.09.36) in SS Standarte 23 (Gleiwitz).

    SS Untersturmf?hrer 20.04.35

    SS Nr 44,370, NSDAP member Nr 1,298,568. SS Ring but no SS sword at that point.

    I find no record of him in Einsatzgruppen or as a concentration camp officer, though it is never a good sign to see KVKs to an SS officer in the east.

    He was not an SS Major by October 1944 so presumably did not rise above the rank of Hauptsturmf?hrer. I have no wartime SS list showing that rank.
