Mattyboy Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi All, Does anyone know who this is please? He may have some connection to IR 46, according to the seller. The photo was sold on ebay a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Richard Schäfer (1868-1939), commander of IR 475 and RIR 119. Assuming I have the right Schäfer, he was at the Kriegsakademie in 1897, which would explain the Centenary to this Württemberg officer. http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=1-337956-1 Edited February 11, 2023 by Dave Danner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Uwe. From the photo collection in the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg (http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=1-328970), two more versions of the two photos above. Of note is that it is the same ribbon bar in both photos, from 1918 and 1940. In the AHF thread here, Thierry posted a picture of three differing ribbon bars for Sauter, which I've also added below. There's something shown in the two photos that Rick L. would have appreciated. You can see the difference in photo processing, where in the 1918 photo the yellows of the WM3 and the Centenary turn dark, while in the 1940 photo they remain light. Note that in the 1940 photo Generalmajor z.V. Sauter is not wearing either of the post-1934 ribbon bars with the Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer. Both of those ribbon bars have the wrong precedence, though. The first places the Württemberg Dienstehrenzeichen 1. Klasse, a decoration, after the China-Denkmünze in Stahl. The third places the Hamburg Hanseatenkreuz among the non-wartime decorations and medals instead of before the Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer where it belongs. Both also omit the Bavarian Militär-Verdienstorden 3. Klasse mit der Krone und Schwertern seen on the 1918 ribbon bar, but that's because Sauter received the pinback Offizierskreuz of that order on 18.10.1918. The third also has swords on the Friedrichs-Orden ribbon, which is incorrect. I suppose the tailor messed up and Sauter rejected them for wear, but they remained in existence, either in his own possession or the tailor's, and resurfaced later.

Dave Danner Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Generalleutnant Max von Hartlieb genannt Walsporn. He received the Rettungsmedaille on 13 July 1932, but it is not shown below. I wonder if he received a non-portable version of the award. He also later received the KVK2X. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Not the greatest quality photos, but three versions here: ribbon bow, button-hole ribbon and medal bar. Gerhard Triepel, genannt Schulze (1883-1974) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
