    Anyone has a Flak DKiG Soldbuch/Wehrpass?

    Recently I start to add some Soldbuchs from Flak members to my collection and lucky to add one for a NCO awarded the DKiG and during my research find that the Flak arm received a very low number of DKiG, best guess is around 500-550 till end of war as records are missing from June 1.944 when the number was 354.

    I wonder if any member of this forum has another Soldbuch/Wehrpass from this arm and will be so kind to show it to us.

    Thanks a lot and here is the link for mine.

      Thanks Jeremy, what amaze me is the low number awarded to those men, just 354 till June 44 so our best guest is 500-550 as stated in my original thread for soldiers who fought in all theaters and ranging from defending the homeland to frontline.

        I have a Wehrpass to an officer in Flak-Rgt 153 who won the DKiG in early 1943 possibly for actions during the Russian offensive 'Little Saturn' but I'm not a paid up member anymore so can't post images.

          I would agree it is rather remarkable the low number of awards considering they were deployed in a ground fighting capacity. Presumably the more static units deployed in cities were less frequently awarded higher level decorations.

                      Wow! I did not know that about the Wolfgang Pickert signature. Thank you so much for pointing that out.
                      It is always great to see your wonderful contributions to the hobby!

                        You're welcome. The signature on the EK I Spange related piece of paper is Oskar Vorbrugg - Knights Cross & DKiG.

                          about 500 Kriegsmarine Uboot soldiers being awarded DKiG, and
                          about 500 Fallschirmjager soldiers being awarded DKiG as well,

                          which is more desirable, more costly, more difficult to find?

                          FJ > Uboot > Flak ?
