Re: Hans-Joachim Marseille
Thank you Nick. I shall do that. "Pour Le Merite" might indicate a medal with French origins. We shall see.to follow up-- besides the E-Bay ads for replicas, I did find some history- apparently the name was in French, as that was the "international language of diplomacy" back then. There was also some conversation about this award being named after WW1 German Ace Max Immelmann-- Der Blauren Max-- but the jury might still be out on that. Again, many thanks for your insight.. Eric
