    Lieutenant Wego Chiang's Awards

    OK, I don't know where else to put this, so I'll put it here. What awards did Lt. Wego Chiang (Thats his germanized name, his chinese name id Chiang Wei Kuo) earn? He was the son of Chinese generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek sent to study in Germany. He was a panzer commander during the Anschluss and in the Condor Legion. Apparently, he was a gebirgsjaeger (98?), here are some pictures of him, but since he is a cadet, it only shows a schutzenschnur:



    Can anyone compile the complete list of medals awarded to him?
    I assume:
    Condor legion tank badge
    Spanish cross (maybe bronze with swords?)
    Anchluss medal
    EK for invasion of poland

    Anything else? Maybe a wound badge?

      hi

      I'm thinking he went home after Japan and Germany signed the Tripartite Pact in September 1940. Considering he was Chinese and that Japan and Nationalist China were at war.

        Died only recently 1990 something. Was a long time active in Taiwanese (Chinese) Politics after the war and his military service.

        Served at the front during the Polish campaign and shipped home soon after. I think his engagement was up after 5 years.

        I believe he received one of the higher levels of the Eagle Order.
