J Temple-West Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 BITS AND PIECES!!!! OMG!! Is this all to one pilot or singular items in the collection? That 'Erel is top draw, and what looks to be a very nice cased 2nd pattern Assmann PB. As to the Ehrenpokal...out with the camera please....who was the recipient? "bits and pieces", indeed...you can't get away with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Good Morning John All singular pieces sadly, the Ehrenpokal is to a pilot from KG 26, Uffz Ernst Quaas, awarded 23/1/43, some photos of it as well as a couple of photos of him.... -Bob Pilots badge is a C.E. Juncker example...... Clasp is also a Juncker..... I can throw in a cased Berg & Nolte PB too.... The officer M43 cap is the same one that is photographed in Jack Angolia's Luftwaffe series (Volume 1) published by Roger Bender.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Very nice, Bob...many thanks for taking the time. Especially like the B&NL pb, very nice condition. So, had a quick look at some listings and see that Quaas also had the DKiG when with 5./KG 26 dated 12.7.43.... but then did a general google search and all became clear....quite a service record.

Bob Lyons Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi John This is the information I have so far on Oberfeldwebel Quaas, mainly from a query on the WAF sometime back,- (I am still unsure of whether he survived the war or not). LUFTWAFFE EHRENPOKALE FÜR BESONDERE LEISTUNGEN IM LUFTKRIEG Rank: Unteroffizier Unit: 5. Staffel, II. Gruppe, Kampfgeschwader 26 "Löwen", Luftwaffe Awarded on: January 23rd, 1943 Details: Published in the Ehrenliste der Deutschen Luftwaffe on February 1st, 1943.

J Temple-West Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Could this be the Ernst? Photo states the this is one Ernst Quaas with his wife on their 65th wedding anniversary. Certainly looks like an older version of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 What a great find John, and yes it certainly looks like an older version of the man. If he stayed with 5./KG 26 then he probably finished the war in Norway, so would have missed the savage battles of the last months of the war. Nice to get confirmation that he survived and lived a long life. Any idea where the photo was taken ?? (other than Germany I presume) Best wishes Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 So, from what I can gather form the paper's archives (and a little help from a translation app) Ernst and his wife lived in Saxony until the late 90's when they moved to Berlin (Marchwitzastraße, Marzahn-Hellersdorf - Berlin) to be near their daughter, two grand and two great grandchildren.

Bob Lyons Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 What a wealth of information on Ernst, a huge thank you John, it certainly makes the Pokal so much more appealing with this extra history !! Thanks again, and best wishes Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
