An award lot to Oberfeldwebel 'Willi' Szuggar, who was a pilot with the Condor Legion, where he had 5 victories in Spain, and then
went on to fly briefly with JG 26 (1 Victory, a Wellington on the 18rh of December 1939) and another 4 victories in Russia flying a
Bf 109E and an Fw 190A.

The case was apparently made for him post-war to keep his awards in. He went on to become a test pilot after the war.

I'm not sure how he would have been awarded the War Merit Cross 1st Class without swords unless he went on to be
an instructor or was attached to the Air Ministry. I have no information on what he did from 1941 to 1945.

The Spain Cross in Gold is by Otto Schickle and is in superb condition.

Nice early C.E. Juncker J1 Pilot's Badge awarded in 1937. The pilots award document is sadly only a photocopy.

Looks like you have a panzer visor that's lonely Bob.

Your display is simply amazing. Love all but I like your major with affrika cuff title, fallschirmjager and close combat. Very impressive. Also thanks for the new photos.
