    Do you think this is for the regular Silesian Eagle 2nd class, or for the Oberland Silesian award?

    All the best

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Congratulations on a great group including beautiful document!!! Yes, this one is for SE 2nd class. Docs for Oberland Silesian medal look different.

    This is your grandfather, correct? Was he in Sturmbataillon Teja?

    I know. You've already shown it before. That's one of the 4 regular companies in Freikorps Oberland. But, that's not Sturmbataillon Teja, which was a special assault unit within Freikorps Oberland. Unless you have something that specifically says your grandfather was in the assault batallion, then he was just a regular Freikorps Oberland member. Did he receive Die Gedenkmünze für Oberschlesien or Der Adler des Sturmzuges? Both of these awards were for the Sturmbataillon Teja only.

    Hi Brian, wasn't the Gedenkmünze for all active members in Oberschlesien to purchase 1927 and the Adler Sturmzug for Members of the 1st Kompanie under command of Oestreicher

    I thought Sturmbataillon Teja was the 1st Bataillion Freikorps Oberland in Oberschlesien

    I see it was only 1. Kompanie

    Yes Sturmfahne Teja was 1. Kompanie, 1 Bataillon and they were the only ones eligible for the Gedenkmünze.

     

    Here is a postcard and armshield for Sturmfahne Teja.1733839937_KorpsOberland1komp1btlsmall.thumb.jpg.0fa4d979fd4781c215e5a3a739a860ff.jpg512521637_SturmfahneTejashield.thumb.jpg.bc7ac75336681844393e813d3943d1ad.jpg

    I thought I have read somewhere the whole 1. Bataillon was Teja. But this is daccord with the memoirs of Mr. Weber
