Great Dane Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The name in the books appears to be Flöckher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Yes, I believe this is the same cross I tried to acquire to reunite with my example, a later AWS piece engraved with this man's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Here is some info on Floeckher, and a painting of him. This material came from Eric Ludvigsen many years ago, so I'm not sure of the sources for this material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley58 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Wow and thanks Vince, a lot of food for thought here ! ? i had believed he was reported missing on by regt. 06/08/1870 ? i did not know that he existed after this date so lots of good information and a picture ! Thanks for taking the time to share this paperwork ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 You're welcome. I have a large dossier on his estate as well, called Ankensen, which exists to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) This is great, and so interesting! I would love to see the comments (corrections?) on the left side of the first page (Soldatisches Führertum, Kurt von Priesdorff/ Band 8, 254 ff., Nr. 2587).

VtwinVince Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Yes, a beautiful estate which has fortunately survived the ravages of time. Deutschritter, I will get a better photo of those notes from Ludvigsen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
