Re: Major Hans ‘Assi’ Hahn Award Certificate
Not to get too political here, but the preservation of Anglo-Saxon history, specifically military history, is not high on the to-do list of left-wing WOKE politicians these days. In fact, excoriating and diminishing the achievements of historical figures seems to be the norm these days. I tried to get our 'Heritage Minister' to secure the VC group of Major Currie when it came up for sale a couple of years ago, and got the bum's rush for having the temerity to suggest that such a valuable piece of Canadian history actually deserves to be acquired by the Canadian government. But when you see what this 'heritage' ministry actually spends public money on, you can get pretty upset, at least I do.

Re: Major Hans ‘Assi’ Hahn Award Certificate
Vince,
At least you tried to open the eyes of the "Powers that Be"...and yes, it is not only over there that the deeds of so many war heroes were forgotten. A. |

Re: Major Hans ‘Assi’ Hahn Award Certificate
Sometimes, someone does need to speak up, with tact and diplomacy.

Re: Major Hans ‘Assi’ Hahn Award Certificate
I agree, but I think the days of exercising 'tact and diplomacy' are long over when it comes to radical leftists and their destructive agenda. Give someone an inch, and you can guess what they will try to take.

@VtwinVince
This forum is about the Luftwaffe, please refrain from making political comments that have nothing to do with our common interest. There are more than enough other websites where you can express your opinion. Regards, John |

Re: Major Hans ‘Assi’ Hahn Award Certificate
If you have seen the complete collection, as I have, Ed, you would think the complete collection would be up for auction, if the owner of it had a mind to sell it.

Re: Major Hans ‘Assi’ Hahn Award Certificate
His collection of medals, Ehrenpokal, log books were taken by his son at the time of Hahn’s death, according to his widow! I’ve never seen them, only a colour photograph of them all together. Never seen them auctioned or heard what might have happened to them.
Hahn did indeed have his photo albums, which I copied back in the early 2000s, approximately 400-500 pictures in all!
