Walter Nicolai (military intelligence)

[Deutschritter]

Gentlemen, I am looking for WW I decorations for Walter Nicolai, leader of the Sektion / Abteilung III b from 1913 to 1918. Seeing the picture we can see EK II and I, but what else? Surely HOH? Some austrian awards (III b worked closely together with the k. u. k. „Evidenzbureau“)? Some Turk awards? Please let me know! Thanks!!!

 

 

This is what I have on his promotions, not 100 % sure about Hauptmann:

22.3.1893 Sekonde-Lieutenant

22.4.1902 Oberleutnant

11.9.1907 Hauptmann ohne Patent

... 1909/1910 Patent als Hauptmann vom 20. März 1906 erhalten (maybe just a new Rangdienstalter?)

1.10.1912 Major

27.1.1918 Oberstleutnant

27.2.1920 Charakter als Oberst; zur Disposition gestellt

Hauptmann: 11.9.07 B8b. Although his promotion was überzählig (supernumerary), he was immediately awarded a Patent effective his promotion date of 11 September 1907.

 

Regards

Glenn

Thanks so much, Daniel ... and yes, you have mentioned it once or twice ... ? One day ... maybe, but the next years I am investing every cent in my four children. I would love to have a big library with all of these documents and books ... but ... oh well, you know ... I'm having problems with "f.WK3X", would you please shove me in the right direktion? Does that maybe mean he received first WK3X, then WK2cX?

 

Sincerly,

Andreas

Dear Daniel, if you have the time, please let me know, if you have any WW I decorations for Generalleutnant Otto Freiherr von Brandenstein. I would, as always, be very thankful.
