Deutschritter Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Gentlemen, because of the great help with Uto Gallwitz, I am confident in asking for help once again. Alexander Gustav Wilhelm Leschke, son of Oberst z. D. Wilhelm Maximilian Leschke and brother of Oberst Horst Johann Georg Leschke, is said to have these decorations: Iron Cross (1914), 2nd and 1st Class Wound Badge (1918) in in Black and Silver Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918 Clasp (1939) to the Iron Cross (1914), 2nd and 1st Class Infantry Assault Badge (Bronze or Silver) Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross German Cross in Gold (posthum) ... but, seeing his ribbon bar, he must of had (much) more (maybe the Saxon Military St. Henry Order, Knight’s Cross, as I read once, but do not remember where?). Can anyone help? About the silver wound badge, maybe black from WWI and silver from WWII? Any information about him would be great, maybe also promotion dates. Wife? Children? Thanks so much!
