Ribbon bar of Lt. Vollrath Freiherr von Maltzahn

Lt. Vollrath Freiherr von Maltzahn u. Wartenburg u. Penzlin

1. Eskadron, Husaren Regiment Nr. 9

 

In a thread here, Deruelle has a photograph of Maltzahn wearing the big brother to my ribbon bar.  (Note the quirky placement of the Saxe-Ernestine in both bars.)

 

 

 

As a bit of a historical footnote, Maltzahn went on to get his law degree after the war, and followed his father into the diplomatic service.  Among other roles, he served as the first post war ambassador from West Germany to France from 1955-1958.
