    1. "Would he have received the Erinnerungszeichen zur Silbernen Hochzeit 1906?" I can't find this in the records. I can find 22 decorations in WW I, but it is handwritten in the old german script and very hard to decipher. Uwe
    2. Hi JustinG, Stettin is 85km away from my birthtown. KR Uwe
    3. This was a self-award like the other decorations on his “uniform”. Uwe
    4. That is correct, the last Swiss (Bern) medal is not allowed to wear, and the Nijmegen Vierdagse medal must be behind the German decorations. Uwe
    5. Gordon, we must differentiate here between the law and the regulations of the Bundeswehr. In the law, the arm shields and the Bandenkampfabzeichen were permitted to be worn, and this is still valid today. The Bundeswehr said yes, but it was not allowed, to wear the arm shields in the original size on the uniform. They could be worn only on the ribbon bar. The Bandenkampfabzeichen was allowed to wear on the uniform and the ribbon bar too, but late in the 20th century, the Bandenkampfabzeichen was no longer allowed in the Bundeswehr; clearly too late! 2010 allowed, 2016 not allowed. Uwe
    6. This book is in my collection, with a summary in Russian, French, English and German. HPR 1979 Uwe
    7. Hi, in the absence of the commander, he is (only) the leader of the Abteilung. Uwe
    8. No. The left three: Christian pieces Next: Deutsche Turnerschaft (FFFF) Right: Schlaraffia Reych No. 83 Metis (Metz), Metis-Kreuz Uwe
    9. Department of Defense Distinguished Public Service Medal 1993 awarded to Manfred Woerner (Wörner), NATO Secretary General
    10. Based on the "Naval War College Review, Autumn 2017 Volume 70, Number 4" with a picture of the award ceremony for Ruge as cover and an added text it was: February 21, 1961 That is for me the most trustful source. Uwe
    11. It is an "Überrock" (overskirt), more like a jacket than a coat. U(we
