Chris Boonzaier Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi, the 1st and 2nd class Bewährungsabzeichen... I assume just which ones they were depended on which Freikorps they were attached to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Maybe Silesian Eagles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auseklis Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hi Dante, I would read that as both classes of the Silesian Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yes that was my initial thoughts....then doubt..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) I can display it with this.........guess he may have served with Freikorps Görlitz ? Edited October 1, 2013 by dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolewts58 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I can display it with this.........guess he may have served with Freikorps Görlitz ? I agree that "Bew. I u. II Stufe" is for the Silesian Eagle. "Bewährungsabzeichen" is the correct designation for the award. The use of the word "Stufe" (grade) instead of Klasse is peculiar to the Silesian Eagle. By the way, why Freikorps Görlitz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Reichswehr-Kavallerie-Regiment 105 in which he served was part of Reichswehr-Brigade 5 which was formed from Freikorps Görlitz (also called Freikorps Faupel or Schlesische Jäger-Brigade)........

Yes, of course. That makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolewts58 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I'm very interested in your pass, as I'll only buy a 'Militärpaß' if it has Freikorps service. Generally, it's difficult to find these compared to those with WWI service only. Here are a couple of my scarcer ones. M.G. Abtl. of Regt. Baden, Freiw.-Abtl. von Medem. Served in the Baltic, as it says, fighting Latvian and Bolshevik troops. He received the Baltic Cross and Maltese Cross for the Russian Westarmee. Freiw. Batl. Graf Kanitz and then 1. Kurland Inf. Regt., Eiserne Division. He was awarded the EKII and Baltic Cross. He would have also been entitled to the Iron Division medal and likely the Baltic Landwehr Cross, as well.
