A very rare German Third Reich Feldjägerkorps Military Police gorget five-piece, silver washed sheet metal and alloy construction, bearing a separate cast Luftwaffe style eagle without stretched wings clutching a canted swastika, two pebbled buttons and a scrolling banner inscribed 'Feldjägerkorps' finished in yellow radium wash, 16.5cm wide x 10.5cm high overall As Germany’s military fortunes waned, and retreats rather than advances became common on all fronts, the chaotic situations that often ensued stretched the capabilities of the Feldgendarmerie to its limits. A new police force was required to assist in bringing order out of this chaos, and one which would have full authority to do so with any means necessary. In September 1944, the creation of a new force, to be known as the Feldjägerkorps was announced. This force, comprising three Battalions (later increased to Regimental status) was to be formed from front line combat experienced soldiers who had been decorated for gallantry with at least the Iron Cross Second Class (this criteria was not always adhered to), thus giving them the moral as well as legal authority to direct other troops. Their main purpose was to main order and discipline immediately behind the front lines, to round up stragglers and to gather any useable menand materials and direct them to the front.

As the American B17 Flying Fortress caught fire, its pilot, Flight Lieutenant John Wynne, ordered his men from the 214 Sqaudron to bail out. They were rounded up by the German army and marched through the town of Pforzheim to the nearby village of Hichenfield where they were held in a boiler room. Only three weeks before this event, Pforzheim had been hit by a devastating raid by Bomber Command. Once a thriving community of 70,000 souls, the town was now only ruins and rubble. Mosquitos had dropped 1,825 tons of bombs on Pforzheim in just 22 minutes, causing a firestorm that destroyed more than 80 per cent of the town's built up area and killed at least 17,000 people. Many died in their cellars, when their lungs burst with the intense heat. The town had been badly hit in the wartime bombing raids with many civilian casualties. After a few hours an angry mob, egged on by the local mayor, burst into the boiler room, beat up the captive men and marched them to the cemetary of a local church, where they were shot by Hitler Youth who were dressed in plain clothes and ordered to incite violence by posing as outraged villagers. Air Gunners, Sidney Matthews, Harold Frost and Edward Percival and wireless operator, Gordon Hall were all killed. The navigator, Dudley Heal and air gunner George Pow, were taken prisoner and eventually sent back to the UK without knowing the fate of their comrades. Air gunner, Norman Bradley and wireless operator, Tom Tate, managed to break free and successfully escape the execution mob. The plane's pilot Flt Lt Wynne eventually managed to bring home the badly damaged plane, landing it at Cambridgeshire Basingbourn airfield. The German ringleaders of the execution were eventually sentenced to hanging by the war crimes tribunal and others were given various jail terms. The minister in the church of the German town of Hichenfield, where the men were murdered, was so outraged that he erected a plaque in their memory. *With photocopied news articles and provenance.
