VtwinVince Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Very interesting Nachlass, especially with the Finnish Pilot Badge.

He died during the last raid over England. Onboard of L 70 was also FrgKpt Peter Strasser. 07.01.1911 Preußen - Rettungsmedaille 06.08.1915 Sachsen - Albrecht Orden Ritter 2 mit Schwertern 03.03.1916 Bayern - MVO 4.Kl.mit Schwertern 00.00.1916 Schamburg-Lippe - Kriegsverdienstkreuz 15.11.1917 Coburg-Gotha - SEHO Ritter 1.Kl.mit Schwertern What an absolutely beautiful medal bar! What I like the most, besides its provenience, of course, is the fact it combines bravery awards from five different German states, without any commemoratives, jubilee medals, long service awards and such. The Rettungsmedaille am Bande is just the icing on the cake! One minor correction, though: the decoration in last place is from the principality of Lippe (so-called "Lippe-Detmold"), not from Schaumburg-Lippe. No doubt you know this, but others that stumble upon this remarkable thread might not...
jaba1914 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Posted August 5, 2023 I‘m glad you like it. Thank you for the correction. KR Alex
jaba1914 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Posted August 5, 2023 Great group Graf. I love the pictures from WW1 in the navy uniform. But he wasn't on the Marinefliegertruppe during WW1. Attached the service record of him from Ehrenrangliste der Marine 1
VtwinVince Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 It isn't necessary to blot out swastikas on this forum. 1
Deutschritter Posted August 6, 2023 Posted August 6, 2023 Is it possible to show the picture of Adolf Pirmann as Luftwaffen-Oberst without the red arrows? Thanks! 2

jaba1914 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Posted December 31, 2023 As last post of this year, I want to post this nice MP. It belongs to Flugmechanikermaat Bernhard Friedrich Wilhelm Sobol From Jun. - Sep. 1915 at Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilung 6. Changed to the Navy on Oct. 1915 and served at SFS Holtenau. Mar. - Aug. 1916 with the Flieger-Abteilung Xanthi. This unit was a combined Army and Navy flying unit before the Army left Xanthi. The signature of Hptm (Army) Hans Arndt who led the unit until Sep. 1916. Happy New Year Alex
jaba1914 Posted May 21 Author Posted May 21 It is getting quiet on this thread. Are you all on Ebay spotting the fakes 🙂 Where are all the nice German Navy Aviation items? Here is a small group of Fl.Mech.Ob.Gst. Rudolf Bornemann who served with SFS Chanak. This is the first document for the "Eiserne Halbmond" to a member of the German navy aviation service I ever seen. A small piece of paper but a gem for me. 2
Stogieman Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Good Morning and great item!! Only the second I’ve seen! Back in the day, I bought a group from Detlev to a pilot who fought in Palestine. Had the large folio award document for the TWM but he was an army pilot. Had his award documents for the EK2 and pilot badge as well. Unfortunately no images still. Nice find!! Congratulations!!
Stogieman Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Almost forgot! When Rick Research looked into the group I had he said my guy was one of the pilots you saw zooming over the dunes as depicted in Lawrence of Arabia! Can still see his portrait in my mind with his EK, Pilot Badge and sporting a nifty moustache!! lol!

VtwinVince Posted May 21 Posted May 21 That was an iconic scene in that movie. And your VU for the Halbmond is really great Alex.
jaba1914 Posted June 10 Author Posted June 10 Fl.Ob.Mt.(B) Paul Krauthoff at SFS Flandern 1. This picture was taken on 1918 after he was awarded the Eisernen Halbmond for his service at SFS Varna. He wear the cross on the wrong side. 4
