Chris Boonzaier Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 This is an interesting group... it seems he was awarded the EK2... probably in error... as you can see, the dates refer not to when the document was signed, but the actual award.... I have no idea why this award to a Hessen man was done by the Württemberger...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Then the Hessen and Wound....
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 a bullet through the Ribs, Kidneys and spine.... lay 2 days in the field until he goto to hospital.... lots of hospital time....
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 When he was released, he seems to have been OK for office work....
turtle Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Very interesting paperwork with a nice early EK2 document for an EM!
Chip Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 It's interesting that with such a seemingly serious wound that they would forget to give him a wound badge until 1936! Chip

Chip Hi, i am guessing he was released from the army before the Wound badge was created... in the years after the war noone was interested... only at the beginning of the 1930s , when folks in Germany started "uniforming up" again, that many applied for the wound badge... I have a few groups with Wound badges issued in the 1930s whwn the guys needed them for SA or NSKK or whatever uniforms..

I have no idea why this award to a Hessen man was done by the Württemberger... Probably the regiment tooka part in the fight of the XIII.AK. In this time, the 25.Res.Div.(XVIII.RK), were neighbours to the 26.Inf.Div. (XIII.AK) I think, I´ve found him here: http://des.genealogy.net/search/show/1329494 Edited February 23, 2014 by The Prussian
