Deutschritter Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Gentlemen, I am looking for any- and everything about von Roden (1861-1945). His original name was Emmo Maria Max Wellhausen, he was adopted in 1882. He was promoted to Sekondeleutnant on 12 February 1884. After the war, he commanded the Marine-Brigade „von Roden“. Promoted to Generalmajor on 10 February 1921 with RDA from 1 December 1920 (?) I would really love to know, what decorations he earned in WWI. Thanks!

Maybe Kronenorden, 2nd Class with Swords? Edited April 11 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
