Träger og the Blutorden?

[stengaard]

Hi Guys.

When General der Flieger Stumpff is saying that this soldier "Ist Träger des Blutordens" does he mean the "9th November 1923 - Blutorden", or could it be something else?

Best regards

Yes you are correct, it does mean that he is a holder of the Blutorden or Blood Order from the 9th of Nov. 1923.

Hello Steengard,

nice doc, it´s a judgement for promotion for

Andreas Nielsen, Blood Order Nr. 1459,

formerly (1923) in the Munich Infanterieschule.

Congrats to you!

Interesting letter, always nice to see references to the blood order

Thanks Guys - and you even have the number of his Blutorden

But when I look at war pictures of Andreas Nielsen, he does not wear the ribbon on his right pocket, would that be normal?

Thanks again
Stengaard

Hi Stengaard,

I realized that, too, finding a pic in the net. I don´t have any explanation for that, maybe he wanted to be seen just as a fighter and not as a political man ....

No more ideas why he didn´t wear the ribbon.

Thanks Max.

That would be my guess too.

This picture you found, could you PB or mail the link to me?

Best regards
