Chris Boonzaier Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Here is his award.... for the German offensives in early 1918... from the awards listed, it is one of the very few to go to a MGSSA Company commander... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 There are very few Hohenzollern listed to MGSSA officers, the other 4-5 I have seen are all to Hauptmann... Of course there are other LTs, but pretty scarce.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, I have a WWII Wehrpaß to a Leutnant d.R. Nikolaus Spanier who served with Maschinengewehr-Scharfschützen-Abteilung 69 from March 17 to Feb. 18 and was awarded the EK I on the 5th of July 1917. Could you maybe check, if he is mentioned in the magazine? (I will post his Wehrpaß on the next weekend.)
