IrishGunner Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Kanonier Erich Hintz, entered service 14 Nov 1916 with Fuss-Artillerie Regiment Nr. 5; by the end of 1916, he's with Fuss-Artillerie Regiment Nr. 23. He survives the war and joins the Reichswehr, discharged in 1928 after 12 years service, last with the 1. (Pruess.) Artillerie Regiment. There is nothing under his "Orden and Ehrenzeichen" nor his "Feldzuge, Verwundungen" sections. So, perhaps nothing remarkable about this Pass; but I thought I'd share in case I missed something...
arb Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 His battery commander, Hptm. Siegfried Thomaschki went on to become a General d. Art. (01.03.1945) and recipient of the Ritterkreuz m. Eichl. and Deutsches Kreuz in Gold. Nice signature to have!!! Andy

Proving once again that it's always best to share with GMIC wizards even what one thinks is "nothing special" - something interesting almost always comes to light.
