Forman's
Guide to German State Orders, Decorations and Awards
Each volume will contain many 100's of Dr K. G. Klietmann Archive b/w Photographic studies of the obverse and reverse of each German State original award with a brief text for each subject acquired by the author in 1996, making it the most comprehensive study in English ever undertaken using many archive photographs of rare awards, from the Berlin Zeughaus collection, some of which disappeared in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of the city in 1945. The basis of the text will be taken from archive sources as well as the classic German reference sources on the subject, researched and compiled by the author. e.g. typically there are many photographic studies of the Pour-le-Merite covering awards from both the 18th century and 19th century as well those of the War of 1914-1918. The Freikorps is another fascinating era; although reference books are rarely seen on the subject, so I have added archive photographs some pre war, published here for the first time. With additional original colour artwork illustrations and colour photographs of historical importance such as the unique War Group (Spange) and Orders worn by Kaiser Wilhelm II during WWI as well as the authors personal collection of WWI Aviation Flying Badges.
