Hello AK,

a simply outstanding group! It'S quite amazing......

[Eric Queen]

Very nice group of obviously original material. I just find it odd that he would have these 2 particular bands. I don't see where he was ever in FJR1. Before joining FJR3 in 1940, he was with the 7th Flieger Div. (San.Abt.7), which would have worn the Fallschirm Division band. Interesting also that he did not have the officer's version of the FJR3 band, considering that they were definately produced and were available for sale.

This stuff is always interesting.

Hello Eric,

i talked with his son and he told me that his father didn't wear his awards except the Kreta cuff and the IC 1st class .... therefore everything is unworn.

There was only one photo where he showed all his awards and that was from the day where he received his german cross in silver.

Hi ak:
Great group! BTW, do you happen to know where he was posted to (as well as his unit) while fighting in Spain?
Thanks and best regards.
