    Pretty cool. I like how he got the LS medal for 2x2+1 time as a Lt.dR.

    Are you talking about Curt Ziehm from the beginning of the thread? There was no double-counting for Wehrmacht Dienstauszeichnungen, and reserve officers didn't get them. But certain civil service in the Reichswehr/Werhmacht did count, as well as police service. Ziehm had 2 years, 9 months active service in World War I, was a Wehrmachtbeamter des höheren technischen Dienstes (Truppeningenieur m.d.W. einer Reg.-Baurat-Stelle beauftragt from 1.1.36 to 31.1.37, and a Reg.-Baurat from 1.2.37). His Beamter service was with Art.Regt. 39, Kraftf.Abt. 7, Kraftf.Abt. 10, and Pz.Jäg.Abt. 20.

    Are there more of bis files?

    He was a Bavarian, so there is probably more detailed information on his World War I service in the Bavarian personnel records on Ancestry.com.

    about Ziehm: the war time in WW1 counted double!

    about Larsen: he wasn't original Bavarian; just served a time in the Bavarian Tank Detachment. Originally he was from Hamburg (when I remember right).

    Yes I am. I did not realize his " mechanics" career counted as regular service. I also noted his war service and figured it counted towards his LS medal because I noted the date of his award and counted backwards. Even more enlightening....ESP. Given his release on 12.12.19 from the Baltic Freikorps! I just learned that Freikorps service counted towards the Wehrmacht LS medal.
