Hello everyone,
I am looking for some help on this lovely 10 place ribbon bar, which for many years now has illuded identification to its original owner. I have done some initial research on it, but wanted some expert opinions.
I have sought help in the past on this bar and was given the names of the following possible recipients:
- Adolf Laule (Luftwaffe)
- Hans-Karl von Scheele (not him, a General der Infanterie, he had Anschluss medals which would certainly be on his bar)
- General der Infanterie Erich Taschke: (not him, there are several pictures that show him with his bar in wear)
- Hauptmann Henn: Oberst Heribert Henn, KIA in 1940
- Oberleutnant von Gallwitz: Generalleutnant (posthumous) Werner von Gallwitz, KIA in 1944
- Oberleutnant Graf von Sponeck: Generalleutnant Theodor Graf Sponeck of the Afrikakorps
- General Leutnant Ernst Richter - (Not him, as Kai Winkler auctioned off his estate many years ago, and his medal and ribbon bar were amongst the lot).
After illiminating some of the people from above that leaves me still with 3 possible candidates:
Oberst Henn - KIA 6th Feb 1940, Stab Inf.Reg.78. He may have been awarded the KVK2 at the start of the War? Not much further information on him.
Generalleutnant Werner von Gallwitz KIA 11 May 1944; not much I can find on his WW2 awards, if any. Can't find a photo either.
Generalleutnant Theodor Graf Sponeck again, very little information on him, and no pictures of him wearing a ribbon bar.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
