Sorry, no.
But I have inter alias the "Sammlung Krug" as a basis concept for further research, countercheck and confirmation.
And in more than fifty years you surely will get a gigantic slip box

Much to our surprise we find: Rome was not built in a day.

Cheers and still learning day by day

[genstab]

I have a few different dates.

First the unit he commanded should be titled Korps-Abt. D, not Battalion-Abt. A Korps Abt. (or detachement) was roughly division size and made up of the remnants of several divisions, commanded by an Oberst or Generalmajor, and usually reformed into a new division when time and circumstances permitted. There were eight of them at various times, lettered A to H.

As far as XII AK goes, he was probably just mFb until 1-7 as Bradley says Franz Beyer assumed command that day.

Last, I don't think he was mFb 4th Army as Dieter posted a bio on Kurt Tippelskirch a while back stating he was Stellv. OB 4th Army from 5-6-44 to 18-7-44.

Can we nail it down further?

Best,
Bill in Cleveland

Hello Friends.

Does anybody have a full list of Vincenz Müller's foreign decorations? In this image we can see a lot of neck orders and some slowakian awards on the chest, but the pic is too blurry:



Thanks in advance.

[VJK]

Hi,

I don’t have the full list of Vincenz Müller’s foreign awards, but this is what I do have:

- Komturkreuz des Ungarischen Verdienstordens am Kriegsbande mit Schwertern (Hungary)
- Kommandeurkreuz des Königl. Ordens des Sterns von Rumänien mit Schwertern (Romania)
- Königl. Orden “Michael der Tapfere” III. Klasse (Romania)
- Komturkreuz des Ordens der Krone von Italien (Italy)
- Mecidiye-Orden V. Klasse mit Säbeln (Turkey)
- Liakat-Medaille in Silber mit Schwertern (Turkey
- Eiserner Halbmond (Turkey)
- Slowakisches Kriegssiegerkreuz III. Klasse (Slovakia)

Kind regards,

VJK

[Cartaphilus]

Very interesting. I think that, except generalfeldmarschalls, very few German generals were awarded by four foreign nations during World War II.

Thanks for your help, VJK.
