A Photo of the Pioneer of Labor Badge Being Worn!

Ok,
I too ran intO an edit problem. I wanted to add this second photo of Funk wearing his POL, but the edit function errored me out 3 times. So I’m adding a new post with the photo, since I could not edit it into my last. I see what you mean Joe. This is a bug we need to tackle.

This is the 2nd pic:

I get that annoying "database error" message everytime I edit a post, too.

However, there is no actual error: If I just close that window by clicking "OK" and then refresh the thread, I always find that the editing has actually worked.

Thanks for the info, I will try that. In one photo Funk is wearing his Kultur Senate award, also rare to see.

Very nice picture with the Kultur Senate award

Can someone remind me of what's going on in the photo of Goebbels, Funk and others as seen in notes 15/16 above? Looks like they're captivated by bars of silver or gold...?!?! And who wouldn't be??

They are visiting the gold repository of the Third Reich held at the Reichsbank of which Funk was the chief.

Here's a copy of ENERGIE magazine from June 1944 which lists the recipients of the Pioneer of Work.

Thanks to JL for recently telling me the magazine was for sale.

Thanks, Joe -- Just as I thought...they really were captivated!
