misiu Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hello Gents, am I right - was this Feldspange awarded to Kaisenberg, Ernst-Moritz v., Hptm., *16.8.1882; FinnFK2X (24.5.18)? Can someone of you tell me his career? When did he die? Regards Detlef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I might have a copy of his personnel file, but I am away from my desktop and won't be able to check for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Sorry. No file. He retired in 1931. He was recalled, but given the lack of a personnel file and Wehrmacht DA on the ribbon bar, perhaps as a z.V. officer. He was Feldkommandant in Belgrad. If you Google his name and Belgrad, you will find reference to some of the orders he signed relating to the treatment of locals, including Jews. According to the 1972 Gothaisches Genealogisches Handbuch, he was taken by the Soviets in 1945 in Naumburg an der Saale and disappeared. He either died in their hands or they handed him over to the Yugoslavs for disposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 So he served as a civilian during WW2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misiu Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks Glenn and Dave for some input according to von Kaisenberg. So it seems that after fighting Bolschewism in Finland and helping to free this country his career went into a wrong direction, thus to help to extinguish the Jews...poor and disappointing career end.

lew Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hi Detlef, congratulations on the finding. Did you also get the medal bar? The mini chain is still available out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I looove these bars with the Finnish Freiheitskreuz and that class, it's even rarer.... I want it! ;-) Great group would that be, if it was still all together.... :-( C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misiu Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah, I know that the mini-chain is still available - but look at the price For that price you will get - with a bit of luck - a "normal" medal bar of an Baltic veteran... Maybe we should collect and each of us can "possess" the chain about 2 month / year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 So he served as a civilian during WW2? He was an Oberst. I just can't find him in my resources which are mainly active officers. Given his age and date of retirement, I would guess he was an Oberst z.D. or z.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
