KvK1 w/ swords issued to a Beamten

[Laurence Strong]

I just recieved this today, It's from Wehrkreisverwaltung XIII. I wonder if the "Twins" can track down any of the people on the Doc

[Guest Darrell]

Very nice Larry. The scarey thing is ... I'm starting to get the document itch

[Laurence Strong]

Thanks Darrell Greman or Soviet docs

I do not FIND Rappl, but then my copy of the Secret 1 May 1939 Beamten list has no index. They are arranged there by type and place of duty, by seniority within those categories--not alphabetically. If he was a career administrator and not a war's duration appointment, he should be in there-- ask GlennJ in a couple of weeks.

Signed by Dr. Adolf Deyrer, born 30 December 1897, Ministerialrat (1.1.38) in OKH Department V2 in May 1939 (page 8 on the Secret List), and per Keilig, Generalintendant 1.5.44 #a5, Wehrkreis XIII.

An obscure type, I have no more on him at the moment.

Thanks a bunch Rick I wonder what this guy did. I have not chased down the time line yet, but I don't think the Wehrkreis was under land attack yet?

Since this was bestowed on 1 September 1944, it was probably a "general list" for the 5th anniversary of the war starting. Rappl likely had held the KVK2X for over 2 years and it was time for something else for him.

These tended to be awarded to Desk Jockeys on Suitable Occasions-- Hitler's birthday etc etc when it was somebody's Time In for a little something.
