Strange new discovery

[Deruelle]

Hello,

 

Reading the Dresdner Nachrichten, I see that one Vizefeldwebel received the Friedrich August medal in silver with ribbon of the St Henry medal. His name Paul Engelmann from GR 100. He received EK2 with his Friedrich August medal in silver.

 

Someone has ever heard something about that. To be honest it is the first time for me.

That is news to me as well.

Neither have I ever heard that before... just curious, is the Dresdner Nachrichten an official source? If it's not, I would love to see something official. I'm a bit skeptical. Strange mistakes did sometimes happen...

I Sascha, it is an official source. I have read several times, before posting, to be sure. For the moment, I have not seen mistakes in this Newspaper.

Hmpf...

I would not trust secondary sources to 100 percent.

In a prussian newspaper I ve read about an NCO, who got the Militärverdienstkreuz- it was described as "goldenes Militär- Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse" ?

 

best,

Daniel
