Chris Boonzaier Posted February 18, 2014 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted February 23, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
