Is that an "Ehrenwinkel der Alten Kämpfer"?

He was born in 1924

[naxos]

still get some things from the ss man Hans Zschimmer.

regards Kanalhose

Not really - these documents are suspicious

Hi!
I'm not an expert so maybe I'm getting something wrong.
According to the first page of the Soldbuch he was promoted to Untersturmführer on 20.04.1945.
On page 21 of the Soldbuch he is released on 01.05.1945 with the rank of Oberscharführer der Reserve and according to his POW property envelop he is Obersturmführer.
Is this possible?
Best Regards
Christoph

come on
the sleeve eagle is also not textbook

That is not what I'm talking about.

Look at this - it is a 1945 document and not 1942.

The date is February 16, 1945 and his rank is Sturmmann

[naxos]

The same (felt) pen that altered the above document from 1945 to 1942 was used to add the rank to the below document.

Bogus added rank of Obersturmfuehrer

Naxos, great detective work.

[Kanalhose]

I think these registrations are old modified, for example in the discharge document from the military service, he is a lieutenant in the Luftgaubezirksstelle Dresden / Stabsnachrichtenkompanie 7/120

I think there was his SS affiliation and his career veiled?

even a photo of the back of the certificate of discharge

[Kanalhose]

changed rank

I'd maybe guess all the type on that release document is post war. Or just coincidence his real rank is blocked out?

And what's with the photos - apart from the chevron Naxos mentions he appears to have more medal ribbons that he is 'officially' entitled to (whichever way you look at it).

As for amending dates - I've often written the wrong year, i.e. the previous one, in the first week in January. I'd have to be seriously confused to type a year that is three years in the future. Twice.

Hi,

the picture with the rank of SS-Ostuf is badly doctored... Rank added, officer buckle added...
Ugly job !

I think these registrations are old modified,

Schwerkriegsbeschädigtenausweis were valid for max 2 years before renewal.

Compare the expiry dates and the serial numbers - B: 356006 was issued on May 30, 1944 -

[Kanalhose]

I have also seen, I have the picture indeed in hand
it is a postwar deduction
However, there are many images that were so retouched, even in wartime

Here again, the back of the photo without hat ... he was in November 1944 still Sturmmann

One of the fieldpost service letters has the address:
8. Preparation course for invalids SS leader Bad Toelz-SS Junker school
stamp 3.6.1945 can have there skipped so many service ranks?

I look forward to further useful comments, a very stimulating discussion, thanks

Besides Ost and EK, what are the other ribbon awards?

What is the meaning of the chevron on the right arm?

Why is he wearing an IAB?
