dond Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Interesting. And it must be on the black/white combatant ribbon. Also the Hindy with swords for a frontschwein.

Chris Liontas Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Wow! Very nice Chris! I've never seen one before. yhatvus about as rare as it gets, even more so than aviators.

Feldpfarrer, Feldhilfsgeistlicher, Feldpater and some Divisionspfarrer, Regimentspfarrer, and Feldpröpste and some of the Feldrabbiner Jews like Dr. Aron Tänzer A famous luth. priest was Rupert Mayer http://images.google.de/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F9%2F9b%2FB%C3%BCrgersaal_Eisernes_Kreuz_Rupert_Mayer.jpg%2F220px-B%C3%BCrgersaal_Eisernes_Kreuz_Rupert_Mayer.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FRupert_Mayer&h=161&w=220&tbnid=Of7qqG46zzRzWM%3A&docid=oc6VhfLH1vcReM&ei=N5QbWJ71FILxUu78lbgP&tbm=isch&client=firefox-b-ab&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=276&page=0&start=0&ndsp=32&ved=0ahUKEwje7OWSrY3QAhWCuBQKHW5-BfcQMwhAKB4wHg&bih=732&biw=1536 I am collecting photos of those guys.
