Hello. I´m loking for pictures of Jakob Grimminger, standarbearer of the Blutfahne. I´m specially interesting in his medals and accoutrements (gorget...).
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much.

In the photos I have seen he only had the EK2 and the HKx, although I'm certain he got the Blood Order as well as the NSDAP medals. Do a search on his name. He's in here. -
Here is a commonly published view of Grimminger. This particular example bears Grimminger's signature.Last edited by ramon; 10-02-2008, 01:43 AM.Comment

Just FYI - There's a very nice discussion, including great photos and scans of documents, concerning Grimminger at a militaria collecting forum about which discussion is here proscribed.
Best regards,

Here you have some tracks finding in internet in a few seconds. And all my books about the SS and NSDAP says something similar. I didn´t find anything talking about the blutfahne in a private collection in Germany, but, please, if you can tell me more specific information about this I´d be very happy to know some more. It´s very important for me. Thank you.
""The Blutfahne was last seen in public at the funeral of Adolf Wagner, Gauleiter of München-Oberbayern, Apr 1944. It was kept at the headquarters of the NSDAP, the Braunes Haus (Brown House) in Munich, and is believed to have been destroyed during the allied bombings of Munich. http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=5067
""The Blutfahne was was last seen in public at the funeral of Gauleiter Adolf Wagner in April 1944, after which it disappeared. It is possible that it may have been destroyed, or it may yet survive, either in secret storage somewhere or simply unrecognized as such. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blutfahne
""The flag was kept in the Munich NSDAP HQ called the Brown House, which had a flag museum in the downstairs hallway, that is until the U.S. 8th Air Force destroyed the building as well as most of Munich during the war. http://atlasgeo.span.chLast edited by Gregorio Torres; 09-29-2005, 02:36 AM.Comment
