    Kreta Plaque - new find

    Hello All,

    I was luckily able to acquire this very nice Kreta Plaque and I´m very, very happy about that. One of the most fascinating awards to me. Enjoy it!

    Does anybody see a chance to find the Private Bußler in any list or is there any possbility to find out to what para regiment or unit he belonged to?

    I personally have no idea ...

    Thank you for you help if possible and


    Best Regards

          very nice

          Very nice plaque. Looks to be in great condition and appears quite large.
          Good looking frame too. Nice score.

            Hello,

            does noone have an idea whether the Private Bußler is possibly findable in any list or a regimental register?

            Thanks again for any help.

              Hello,

              didn´t think that such a rare plaque is of such a low interest ...

                Not low interest, it is a great plaque! Just don't have any valuable information to add. How/where did you find it? I like it a lot!

                  Hello,

                  thank you Walter for your answer.

                  Doesn´t have anybody else an idea whether there are list existing of the former para regiments? Does anybody see a chance to find this Private?

                  Thank you and best regards

                    Hello,

                    today I hold this fine plaque in hands again and was thinking about renewing my question from 2012:

                    Does anybody have an idea about finding some info about the

                    Private/Gefreiter Bußler?

                    Maybe some has an idea ...?


                    Thank you all and best regards

                      Hi Max,
                      congratulations on your find,
                      very nice to see this with the velvet frame,.
                      by chance are there any chalk numbers written on the reverse on the plaque?

                        i have a named FSJ helmet and a friend was abel to contact the vet association and we found his grave. So perhaps you should try a vet association.

                          Hello,

                          thank you very much for your answers. So I will try to find out something by a vets organisation.

                          @ David: It has the number "899" (maybe 699, the first digit is hardly readable) with redish brown crayon in the upper right corner on its reverse.
