Hi all!
I have come along a copy of a decret for BKA in S for:Oberwachtmeister der Gendarmerie d.Res. Dieter Kästner, Gend.-Zug.(mot) 26, awarded 17.8.1944.
I am not sure whether it has some real base, but maybe it could help in our search.

Several earlier posts discuss the award of "des goldenen Bandenkampfabzeichen" to Brauer, Ludl, Kühbandner and Prasch.

The awards were handed over by Himmler personally at 14:00 hrs on Sunday, 11 February 1945 at his HQ at Birkenwald.
They were afterwards treated to lunch.

SS-Untersturmführer Andreas Friedrich...

Is there any more information from this officer? Maybe his DKiG award date or his unit?

New holder for this thread! No name yet..

[GWorldmann]

Who this? Thanks!

[Matt Gibbs]

Wow. You'd think he would be identifiable? Luftwaffe with Close Combat clasp and a Frontflugspange, is that the dive bombers clasp? Would make sense for anti partisan operations? Thats a lovely rarity of a photograph with the APB - Bronze?
Not sure how to go about identifying him, if there are Luftwaffe lists of flight qualified ranks awarded the CCC then I guess starting there?
regards
Matt
