saschaw Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wow.One thing to add: his first MVO, apparently for China, was not an actual "IV. Klasse mit Schwertern" but the old, pre-1905 "Ritterkreuz II. Klasse mit Schwertern". One of those without the flames, completely in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
