Fallschirmjäger Doctor; jump, fight, heal.

Thank you very much for the info, Jean-Yves! Very interesting and very nice to get more information on the man and the group. I'm so glad I shared it here.

On the picture of the parade, the one that I have looks original too. It has some writting in the back, and it was ripped out of an album. I'm going to take a photo it, so you can see. I wonder how many copies there are?

Thanks again, I would like to get both of your books, where can I purchase them? (I'm being a bit lazy as I'm off to bed, if I do not get a response by the morning I'll do a search for them ).

Thanks again.

Would anybody care to comment on the wreath of the Assmann Fallschirmjäger? It will make for a very nice discussion. If nobody chimes in here, would you mind me taking it to the badges forum, Seba?

Very interesting, nice wreath. I would love to see people post badges with that exact wreath.

Cheers, Frank

It's always good to know where the rest of the split-off grouping is, isn't it? I have one photo album of Dr. Mallison with 89 pics in it, in addition to 58 loose pics...

Great Akira! Please post some of them sometime.

Maybe tomorrow, as my wife has been occupying the scanner for HOURS scanning her color slides from recent vacation...

Hey, I want to see those too.

[Sebastian Bianchi]

Akira, do you have a part of every group out there?

I look forward to the pictures, I also sent you a PM.

Hi,

Seba, that's a VERY nice grouping! Any award docs? How about some nice pics (front and back) of the Pilot's Badge?

For you Para specialists, could you have a go at answering some questions for me? How many Fallschirmjäger doctors received the DK? How many also had Pilot's Badges? I ask because I recently bought a Pilot's Badge (qualified in Dec 38, an Aluminium Juncker 2nd pattern) that purportedly belonged to a Dr Günther Müller (FJ Reg.1), also a DK winner (in mid 1943, ranked as Oberstabsartz).

For Frank, re the Assmann Para Badge wreath, the eagle looks classic Assmann but the wreath looks egg shaped (?taken a knock) and the hinge/rivets are "different". I'm not sure what to make of it - some sort of hybrid of early/late components? A very early example? An unmarked aluminium badge (great finish but a repaired catch, both of which are common features of Aluminium badges)?

Regards
Mike K

Dear Mike,

My guess is that the wreath has NOT taken a knock but is exactly shaped like that. (Seba please confirm). But anyway, apart from the eggshape, also the leaves aren´t like anything you have ever seen on an Assmann para (or any Assmann flight badge), right?

Cheers, Frank

Frank, I started a thread on the badges forum, to keep the topics from mixing up. It sounds like this could lead to a technical discussion on the badge, which other "badge" guys could probably benefit from.

Mike, unfortunatly no documents, only a letter from his daughter authenticating the items.

I started a thread on the pilot's badge, just to be neat and keep the topics clean. Here you go,

I look forward to your comments!
