turtle Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Don´t worry, we´re soon finished!!! His China Denkmünze, unfortunately I´m missing all his other medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) .... hhmmm I mentioned earlier, that I´m missing the China Denkmünze citation, but how do I know, when it was awarded?!?!?!? ....... Because I have his diary, which he wrote during his service in China!!!! It´s very interesting and a first hand report of his experiences there. Just remember, he came from a small german village in East Prussia from a farmers family and was able to see a lot of the world!!! I hope you like it!! I have a few more documents, like his Arbeitsbuch or Kleiderkarte. Edited December 31, 2012 by turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 That is one bombastic group indeed ! Did you pick the pieces together, or get it all in one lot? I really like the photo of him in the police uniform with the EK ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) I requested his service rolls from the Deutsche Dienststelle (WAST). They informed about his rank: Meister der Gendarmerie and that he was awarded the Kriegsverdienstmedaille on 01.09.1944. I also got a copy of his NSDAP membership card from the Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv), he joined the NSDAP in 1932. In 1926 he lived at Herzog-Albrechtstraße 8 in Heiligenbeil (East Prussia).

turtle Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I sent a request to the Deutsche Dienststelle http://www.dd-wast.de/frame_e.htm and the Bundesarchiv and they send me those infos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 His diary is possibly the most interesting part in this lot, it describes the assembling of his unit for China, the sea travel, also the daily life in China, his combat experience ...... Only thing that makes me sad is, that his medalbar was sold! It would´ve been a real gem for my collection. I have a few other documents of him, I could show if anybody would be interested in seeing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last rank was Landjägermeister He was appointed as Bezirkskommissar on 01.10.1934. Unfortunately I have no other information about this appointment and his tasks.

turtle Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Now it becomes a little odd: The only job mentioned is his Arbeitsbuch. From 01.07.1939 to 31.08.1939 he worked at a Strandkorbverleih (beach chair renting). Maybe to make some extra cash while in retirement?!?!

Guest Rick Research Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 No. Even pre-1914 Handbücher normally only list people of officer status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
