It was actually a Prussian medal that the German Empire took over once the Empire was founded.

Nothing of worth to contribute other than trolling?

but to answer your question, No, Hans Rudel was not awarded the Pour le Merite. It went away with the collapse of the German Empire.

Well, he could have earned it during that time. I didn't know.


I used to have The Blue Max, parts 1 and 2 on VHS. That was such an awesome movie.

Alright, here's another....



Everyone is familiar with the spiked German helmet from the first half of WWI. But what does the ball on top of this German helmet denote about it's owner?

I'm not Googling anything other than to post pictures for the questions I pose. That's the point of the game, to try and answer the questions without having to Google them. If you're using Google, you're cheating.

It's hard to make out any detail but to be honest I don't recognize it.

Any hints?

It signifies that the wearer is imperial. The orb represents the entire world as being Christ's domain.

Ignore the band and focus on the medal.
It is still in existence today.
Europe.

Is it a Holy Roman or perhaps Byzantine award?

I can't really make it out.

ETA: I'm goingto go out on a limb and guess it's a goat or sheep. Which if that's the case it's the Order of the Golden Fleece. I've seen examples of this medal but none with that massive necklace thing.

I can make out "Vaterland", which I think could be German for Fatherland.

I'll guess Holy Roman Empire.
