hoh1851 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hello, I am looking for information on Karl Ogilvie who was an officer in the Infantry Regiment Nr. 71. He received the Hohenzollern Houseorder as a Leutnant. Later on he served in the Wehrmacht as Colonel with the forein armies Department in OKH. Especially a photo of him would be needed. Thanks for any help in advance. Best regards hoh1851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hi, you´ll find career information in Fremde Heere Ost: Hitlers militärische Feindaufklärung von Magnus Pahl page 112. It´s online. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Some photos. The quality can't be helped, since they are digital photos of microfilm images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoh1851 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hello, that looks perfect. Many thanks! Best regards, hoh1851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoh1851 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) I was wondering whether this ribbon bar could belong to Ogilvie. When I bought this bar the seller also had a 3 place large medal bar from the former bearer (IC2 1914, Schwarzburg Medal Silver, Wehrmacht Long Service for 4 years) as well as a single Hohenzollern Hausorden. What are your thougths? Thanks hoh1851 Edited May 6, 2019 by hoh1851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Dear hoh1851, I do not completely trust the bar, however, to give a conclusive answer, we'll need to see the back too. Kind regards, Laurentius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoh1851 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi Laurentius, in my opinion there are no doubts with this bar. In the grouping was another one without the KVK ribbon. Best regards hoh1851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 A medal bar with the SKM and post-war awards would not fit Ogilvie. He received the SEK3X in 1916 which under Schwarzburg regulations would replace the earlier SKM. So his post-war medal bar would have the Ehrenkreuz, not the medal.

Nicolas7507 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I like the ribbon bar. The Hindenburg Cross is missing, but this could be a period mistake. The bar could also have been the upper row of two ribbon bars. Edited May 7, 2019 by Nicolas7507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
