    1. Hello. I want to start this topic because I am researching Kriegsmarine Konteradmirals and I require their Awards. I do not own any of the Ranglists that list the Awards (Kaiserliche Marine and Reichsmarine Ranglists) and I really need help from those forum members that do have the Ranglists. I will post the Konteradmiral whose Awards I need on this topic almost every day and I hope someone will be able to help me. I will also post the photo of the Konteradmiral if his ribbon/medal bar is visible and someone might be able to ID some additional Awards that are not listed in the Ranglists. To start off, I need the Awards of Konteradmiral Ernst Hintzmann. Below are photos with his ribbon bar visible. These are the Awards I managed to find: -Iron Cross (1914) 1st Class -Iron Cross (1914) 2nd Class -Knight's Cross of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern with Swords -Prussian Order of the Red Eagle 4th Class -Mecklenburg Military Merit Cross 2nd Class -The Honour Cross of the World War 1914/1918 -Medal "For Valour in the World War 1914-1918" (Commemorative Medal of the Union of German Naval Veterans Associations) *Note: this one isn't confirmed, but as he was the Chairman of the Union of German Naval Veterans Associations I think he could have been awarded this medal.
    2. Could you please write the full names of these awards: RA-Orden m.Schl.u,Schw; EK1; DA-Kreuz; Baden: O.v.Zähr. Löwen RK 3. Kl m.schw.; Meckl-Schw. Mil-Verdienstkr. 2. Kl.; Hanseatenkreuz Bremen, u. Lübeck; Braunschweig, Komdt. I can't really figure out all of them. Thank you!
    3. Can you please help me ID this Konteradmiral, photo was taken in Norway.
    4. This is what I managed to ID. 3 Admiral Ehrhard Schmidt (1863-1946) 4 Admiral Paul Behncke (1866-1937) 6 Vizeadmiral Adolf von Trotha (1868-1940) 7 Vizeadmiral Friedrich Boedicker (1866-1944) 8 Vizeadmiral Wilhelm Souchon (1864-1946) 9 Vizeadmiral Ludwig von Reuter (1869-1943) 10 Konteradmiral Magnus von Levetzow (1871-1939) 11 Konteradmiral Max Bastian (1883-1958) 13 Korvettenkapitän Felix Graf von Luckner (1881-1966) I'm missing numbers 1,2,5 and 12... Any ideas?
    5. Could you please help me identify the Naval Officers under numbers 1, 2, 5 and 12? The photo was taken at the solemn opening on May, 30th 1936 of the memorial in Laboe. Thank you.
