    the awarding date is 6.10.42 and I own the EP.

    Maybe someone knows the unit of Heinrich Matz?
    This information would be fantastic!

    Best regards,

    He is not listed by Scherzer for the DKiG or by Fellgiebel for the RK, both of which would have given the unit. A quick look on the Web (which I assume you have done too) did not provide any hits either unfortunately. The easy routes seem to be dead ends sadly.

      Hello Tim,

      thanks a lot for your help.

      It's really difficult to get further information.

      Sad but true...

        Unfortunately this is not the awarding date of his Ehrenpokal, but the publicationdate in the Ehrenliste. The list is specifically about the actual awarding dates that can be found on the Ehrenpokal or the Awarding Document.

        I do not own his Ehrenpokal or Document. Information was furnished to me by Horst Hermann personally.

          Hajo Herrmann

          Wow, RK+OL+S... "one of the Luftwaffe's most innovative air tacticians during World War II" and "one of the highest-ranked surviving German Luftwaffe officers". He must have been an interesting guy to talk to.

          Whoops, sorry, I got Horst mixed up with Hans-Joachim "Hajo"... although I bet Horst is really interesting, too.

                Can you recheck these? The data seem to be somewhat of date in relation to the mentioning in the Ehrenliste.

                      Willi Pick is already on the list:

                      Pick, Willi Feldwebel 20-05-1942 (EP) 25-05-1942 (P/EL)

                      However, I took a look online anyway and was surprised to find he also was awarded the DKiG on 15-10-1942 as part of 6. / Kampfgeschwader 54.

                      http://en.ww2awards.com/person/25578

                      Anyone have anything else?

                        I confirm those Dates from the original documents of Mj.Hoffmann and Fw.Baten.

                        While Ofw.Pötzsches Wehrpass EP Registration is without date i have my doubts too. But what happened in the last weeks of WWII - we do not know.

                            Willibald Zipfel

                            Here is a photo of the Goblet and document of Bordfunker Willibald Zipfel, sold by Thies Auctions around 10 years ago.

                            The actual document is dated 21/12/1942 - it is listed as 14/01/1943 in the Scheibert book.

                            If any member of this forum currently owns these two items I would dearly love to contact them. I am researching Zipfel at present and would love to find which Panzer unit he ended up in if anyone can help? Thanks guys!

                                Zipfel/Meyering

                                Thanks Wilco for the info. I do have a reasonable amount of info on Willibald Zipfel already but the photo of him wearing his RK shows him with Panzer collar tabs. I believe he transfered to a Panzer unit around June 1944 but do not know which unit.

                                Of further interest to this thread here are copy photos of the document and Goblet of Zipfel's pilot Heinrich Meyering who was awarded the Goblet on 23/10/1942. The Scheibert book has the date at 02/11/1942.

                                I have copies of Meyering's flight books which show they were heavily involved at Stalingrad at this time.
