Luftwaffe Officers Medals? - 05/27/2006 10:18 PM
I'm hoping the medal experts can help me out here, as I'm a dagger/sword collector, so this is way out of my depth...
I recently bought a Luftwaffe named dedication sword to Hauptman H Ehrich. After researching with the Budesarchiv I managed to locate his personal file, with a pic of him as well!
His photo shows him wearing a couple of EKs??? and has a 4 place medal bar. Any ideas as to what he is wearing? The file is all in German obviously, and the only parts of the file I can make out that appear to be about his medals reads: Spang.2vm.EK.2.K1 and KVK1.K1.m/schw. He was a WW1 veteran, and the pic attached was dated 1938, before he made Captain I think...
Any ideas would be graetly appreciated as I'm trying to piece as much as I can together on Major Ehrich.
Thanks, Red
Here's also a link to a thread I posed on the sword.
