Deutschritter Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Did he make Generalmajor or "Charakter als Generlmajor"? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 He also surely had the Kolonial-Denkmünze (1912)?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Char. GM 20.10.1919 ...and yes for the Kolonialdenkmünze WW1: BMV3XKr and RAO3SXs2 Best, Daniel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Just phantastic, thanks!!! So no EK II or I ... too bad! I thought maybe Eiserner Halbmond, because he was "Führer der kolonialen Erkundungsmission in der Türkei", but sadly not?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 For sure he had an EK... And the Halbmond ist most likely, but I can still not confirm it. Best, Daniel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1812 Overture Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 我不知道英文怎么说，但是指挥官勋章是桑给巴尔苏丹国的“耀眼之星”勋章 I don’t know how to say it in English, but the Commander’s order is the "Dazzling Star" order of the Sultanate of Zanzibar German colonial soldiers who received the order of the Zanzibar Sultanate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Great pictures! Who is the second officier? He looks so familiar! English: Order of the Brilliant Star of Zanzibar; German (according to the Ranglisten): Orden „Der strahlende Stern“ (sometimes also Orden vom Glänzenden Stern). Do you maybe have a nice picture of the star or the Großkreuz? Edited February 18, 2021 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 I have it: The officier is Eduard Wilhelm Hans Liebert, seit 1900 von Liebert ... he had the second class, 1st grade! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
