Deruelle Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Last photo is very interresting. Ribbon bar of Deissner. The back is black. Ribbon bar in perfect condition. Black light negative. the X on BMV4bX are in silver. Christophe Edited September 22, 2009 by Deruelle
Guest Rick Research Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 :Cat-Scratch: Ah! Two awards that Erhard Roth did not know about-- AK and BMV4X! Notice that NO aunit is given on the AK document and as usual the BMV4X has the regular officer's pre-war unit listed, not where he really was. I last turn up Deißner as a Polizei-Major with Saxon Landespolizei in Chemnitz in 1925. :cheers:
Deruelle Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 "Deißner as a Polizei-Major with Saxon Landespolizei in Chemnitz in 1925" : thanks for the info Rick. Now I have to find the date of his death and if he survived after 1934 what has he done. Christophe
Guest Rick Research Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Saxon Staats-Handbuch 1925, page 117. Polizei Präsidium Chemnitz starts on page 216--
VtwinVince Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Glad you got those documents, Christophe, I was trying to win this group as well.
Beau Newman Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Surprising to see the crown to the Albert awarded to a Captain. I have always thought that this was a Major/Lt. Col. grade award.
Guest Rick Research Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Ahh, but THAT was like the BMV4X versus BMV4XmKr-- depending on whether it was a FIRST award (as you mention) or... a SECOND award of the same class. Crowns as second awards to SA3aXs were quite common for Saxon Hauptleute-- though I'm not sure how they came up with decisions about whether to give a second Albert rather than an SV3aX. The Saxons were rather odd in NOT strictly adhering to rigid steps in being decorated.
Stogieman Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Christophe, mon ami.... un medalgroup merveilleux à un dirigeant courageux, merveilliex!

Deruelle Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 Hi I have now a "famous chest" of Deißner's medals. The first photo is with boxes and paper and the second without. Enjoy Christophe
Stogieman Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 I don't think I've seen that envelope before!!!
