Dave Danner Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The shorter one is for a Saxon junior officer, possibly from Jäger-Btl. 13 or Res.-Jäger-Btl. 13. He has the enlisted man's Friedrich-August-Medaille and the officer's Albrecht-Orden, so he was probably first decorated as an officer candidate or NCO, and then again as a Leutnant. The Reuß ribbon may point to service in JB 13. Since Heinrich XXVII Fürst Reuß was à la suite Saxon Jäger-Btl. 13, officers of this battalion and its reserve battalion were among the most common Saxon recipients of Reuß decorations. But this is only a possibility. Much of Reuß ältere Linie bordered Saxony, so many Reuß citizens ended up in Saxon regiments. The larger one has a name, but perhaps you may want to wait until it arrives. Bad luck to count your chickens before they hatch. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 OK, since I understand you have the bar now... Generalleutnant Werner Pinckvoß: http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Personenregister/P/PinckvossWerner.htm Here is his entry from the 1929 rank list showing his awards. PS: All I see is a tiny thumbnail. I have no idea why even small images are shrunk even smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
