Deutschritter Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Gentlemen, what exactly is Roßbach wearing around his neck??? Did he only receive EK II and I in the war or more? Edited August 10, 2021 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanH Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think the crown looks very much like the Russian crown of St Anna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Yes, you are right, it really does ... he became Leutnant 1913, but I doubt he received this order ... especially not with swords. It somehow looks overdimensional, I have never seen anything like it. Maybe a sort of private decoration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolewts58 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It is the White Russian Order of St. Anne with Swords 1st class given to him by Count Bermondt-Avalov for his Freikorp's breakthrough and relief of the Eiserne Division/West Russian Volunteer Army (Russische Westarmee) which was surrounded by Latvian troops in November 1919 during the Baltic Campaign. Sturmabteilung Rossbach force marched 1200 miles from Berlin to Thorensburg, Latvia to save the Eiserne Division/West Russian Volunteer Army from certain destruction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
