Uncategorised Group photo with Freikorps awards

[dedehansen]

Hello Gents,

recently I got this nice group photo showing

some soldiers wearing Freikorps medals.

[dedehansen]

Soldier with Ehrenzeichen 1. Klasse from the III. Marine - Brigade von Löwenfeld

[dedehansen]

The other soldier is wearing a ribbon bar with IC2, ?, ?, Baltenkreuz and Georgskreuz 4th class

and I think it is the Malteser - Kreuz ( Bermondt - Kreuz ) from Fürst Awaloff - Bermondt.

Regards

Andreas

The Malteser-Kreuz looks white in the photo. If so, it could be the Keller Cross, which was a Russian White Army award that some Germans in the Baltic received.

Thanks. It's possibly a reflection as the photo is a little over-exposed. But, still I think there should some hint of black. It does look like white enamel to me. But, given the size of the image, it's hard to say for sure either way. Nice picture, though.

I just picked up these 2 nice cards of a member of Rw. Reiter Regt. 16 with the Silesian Eagle I and II and a submariner with the Baltic Cross.
