Hello all.
I'm hoping to get opinions on the likely awards the following KC winner (Hans Meyer) would have been entitled to. I have found reference to his service and a list of awards - but I have no way of knowing if this list is complete:
- Eisernes Kreuz II. Klasse
- Eisernes Kreuz I. Klasse
- Flak-Kampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe
- Ritterkreuz zum Eisernen Kreuz
The following link has the best information, and I have copied below the (rather poor) translation courtesy of Google.
Oblt. Meyer seems to be a bit of a mystery, and apart from his KC surfacing a few years ago I cannot find any additional info or photos of the man.
Any thoughts on his awards or any additional info on Oblt. Meyer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Matt.
