Description

Grouping to Leutnant Hermann Wiesend, a personal friend of our consignor. Wiesend worked as a riding instructor after the war and taught our consignor for years. His personal tunic and a few other items came straight Wiesend's widow. The rest of the lot turned up in an antique shop about 10 years ago. This grouping could be reunited.

Wiesend, born in 1916, was one of the few recipients of the Luftwaffe Honor Roll Clasp which was not instituted before 5.7.1944. There are almost no records on recipients! 
As his personal CV states, he was awarded the Honor Roll Clasp and the German Cross in Gold during the battles of Cherbourg, Normandy, in 1944.

-

Front cover of his Luftwaffe Soldbuch including his portrait photo which is KG26 stamped. He wears the tunic being offered in this auction catalogue.
Zinc Observer's Badge marked "A" for Assmann & Söhne. Repaired to the catch and hinge. 

A Schinkel 1939 Iron Cross 1st Class with a repaired hinge. The black paint to the front side is mostly gone. Well worn.

See the lot offering his Squadron Clasp for a photo of Wiesent wearing exactly this Schinkel Iron Cross 1st Class!
