Ernst August Baxmann, Unteroffizier

Ernst August Baxmann was an Unteroffizier, presumably in an Infantry Regiment. He
has several decorations, including the Eastern Front Medal, Westwall Medal, Kriegsverdienstkreuz, etc.
Ernst August Baxmann was the uncle of Hans-Erich Baxmann, who was married to Birgitt Baxmann, née Neusüß
in second marriage. Very little is known about Uncle Erich, I believe he lived in the Elmshorn area (Holstein) He is wearing a standard army Feldbluse with an upgraded collar for NCOs, this being dark green and with long points. The shoulder straps seem to be white-piped.
I Photographed this from the orginal about seven years ago. Most of the family photos from the Baxmann side of the family were handed over to the surviving brother, Berni Baxmann, who however unfortunately died in March 2013, leaving no heirs. His divorced wife was not entitled to an inheritance. The state probably took over anything left.

Christian Names now amended (mistakenly as Erich Baxmann). Erich Baxmann was with the Kriegsmarine - Marine artillery. He also served on the Marine-Stab in Paris. There are photos of him in fieldgrey, and also on of him in dark blue uniform standing under one of the bridges on the Seine in Paris. Unfortunately did not get that one.
