Description

Grouping to Hauptmann Fritz B. which was consigned from the granddaughter and is available to the market for the first time. Beßler, a Legion Condor veteran, served as a pilot and had enemy missions in Africa and Russia. 47 in total and endless transport missions without enemy contact. While his exact unit is unknown to us, we know he was a member of the Sonderverband 288. Part of his grouping was an unworn unit sleeve badge. His granddaughter stated that he was in El Alamain as he told her.

-

A very nice bronze cross without swords made by Meybauer. Maker marked. tombak. Nice bronze finish. Left top corner of the upper arm slightly bent.
