    Actions for an award?

    If an individual is known, and, if you know the awards he had, is there any way of finding out what military actions he was in to win said awards?

    Here is what I have on Hermann Starke;


    Leutnant 20.11.00/31.1.00.1 in Feldart Rgt 17
    Oberleutnant 18.10.09 L42l in Feldart Rgt 69 and to General Staff
    Hauptmann 18.10.13 G3g in General Staff
    Major 18.5.18 #5 (final Reichsheer seniority) Reichswehr Ministry Training Section (T4) 1923, Staff of Art Rgt 3 '24
    Oberstleutnant 1.1.25 Deputy CO Fotress Königsberg '28
    Oberst 1.2.29 Chief of Artillery Wehrkreis I 1.10.31 to retirement

    WW1 awards (none pre-war)

    EK1 & 2
    Prussian Hohenzollern House Order 3 with Swords gazetted 19.4.17 (so awarded months to weeks earlier)
    Bavarian Military Merit Order 4 with Swords (not on published rolls)
    Baden Order of Zähringen Lion-Knight 2nd Class with oakleaves and Swords 9 February 1917 as "on General Staff of an Infantry Division"
    Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach Order of the White Falcon-Knight 2nd with Swords (596 awarded WW1)
    Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach Wilhelmskreuz (362 awarded WW1)
    Prussian XXV Years Service Cross.

    a fitting Regimental History would be the best to check.
    Otheriwise I see no chance.

    Best regards

      Daniel,
      Thank you for your reply! Would there be any place online that would deal with regimental/unit histories?

      Cheers,

        You can ask Uwe Bretzendorfer (www.bretzendorfer.de) or Helmut Weitze (www.weitze.net) for that. They have a lot.
        You can also try www.zvab.de
        But it can still be that Your guy is just mentioned with a short note.
        Maybe Andy or Glenn can help.

        Best regards

        Daniel
