M Hunter Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Gentlemen, I came across this Kriegsmarine portrait on the Internet. Any idea who he is? He has quite a long ribbon bar (10 place) but no Wehrmacht long service awards. Best wishes, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasi69 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 This Viceadmiral was identified as Admiral Werner Fuschs but for me the ribbon bar doesn't fit. I went through Biblios books of Deutschlands Admirale 1849-1945 and my findings are that this also could be: - Admiral Hermann Densch - Admiral Willy Nordeck - Viceadmiral Otto Feige - Viceadmiral Siegfried Massmann - Viceadmiral Robert Withoeft-Emden but I don't have any good pics to compare with. Cheers, Lado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hunter Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Hello Lado, Many thanks for your reply. I agree; Admiral Fuchs does not fit. I have did some searching on the Officers you have suggested. Here is what I have found. - Admiral Hermann Densch (he did not have the Bremen Hanseatic Cross) - Admiral Willy Nordeck (had no WW1 German awards other than the Iron Cross 2nd Class) - Admiral z.V Otto Feige (held rank of Char. Admiral by 1937 & did not have the HOHx) - Vizeadmiral Siegfried Maβmann (I can find no information on his awards) - Vizeadmiral Robert Withoeft-Emden (I can find no information on his awards) Best wishes Matt Edited November 21, 2011 by M Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would think ity is VA Franz Wieting and that the third ribbon is the Baden lion and nit the sax-albert. What do others think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
