Hi,

This is my Blood Order number 85 awarded to Hans Geisenhof who was with the Reichskreigflagge staff at the war minitsry 8/9 Nov 1923.

Geisenhof is on the right of this photgraph, which I believe is a still taken from film. I love to get a copy of the movie that`s for sure.

He was with the SD during WW2. I was fortunate enough to get a copy of his file.

Not a great one, but this is from Geisenhofs file

Hi Jim, glad you decided to post it on WAF. A lovely medal and brilliant to have so much information on the guy. The images certainly are the cherry on the cake.
Congratulations.

Thanks Jim,for sharing your very nice 1st pattern Blutordern with us. When you can put a name and other Bio info with the medal ,like you did it really brings the history to life!

Beautiful 1st pattern Blood Order, Jim. And I agree with my friend John, the images of Geisenhof are just wonderful and add so much to the order itself. The image of Geisenhof with Himmler during the Putsch is one of the most famous, well known and widely used 08/09.November Putsch images. Amazing that you have a Blood Order to one of the men in that photo.

I would be interested in knowing how you identified him as one of the men in the picture with Himmler.I can't recall that photo with names,apart from HH. The copy I have of it shows that guy with pretty defined cheek bones,not like your guy?

Jim,
App. 5 years ago you posted this as your first thread in WAF.
Noticed that you start to sell your collection recently.
Sure do miss you as one of the interesting political collectors.
Wish you all the Best!

Jim is still around but on the Imperial Forum I believe.

Like you, I do miss him on the Political Forum.

I did a double take on seeing '95' - nice! The personal history is the icing on the cake.
