The anniversary memory sign is manufactured by Svenska Medalj AB in Eskilstuna, where the tool maker Stefan Siljemar has carried out the digital model for developing the sign. Great emphasis has been placed on the craftsmanship in terms of details of both original and miniatures, which has been done in close cooperation between Kungl. May: ts Order and Svenska Medalj AB. Great care has been placed on the design of the so-called Gustafs kroner (introduced in 1952), where the cross globe's cross is hand-filled, which means that the cross appears clearly and the high gloss-polished edges enhance the general impression. The band mounting follows old Swedish tradition: The men's band is straight weight, which means that the cross globe's cross is clearly visible, and the ladies rosette is mounted with classic slanted ends.

1. I can't find information. I understand that it would only be granted from a single class and distinctive, possibly white (blanco) Remember that the other yellow and blue distinctives are only from 1995, never before 2. For the above, I think that only one class, but I do not know the category, distinctive or date 3. According to Archive Documents the red (rojo) Crosses were also granted, but they were generally with white Distinctive. In this document of the Avila Archive, there is no date of the Great Cross of the Naval Merit of Admiral Canaris (no consta)

1. No 2. No. Only white or red 3. No name I do not know the reason for the varied denominations of the decorations. For these years, and in the orders of military and naval merit there are different classes, but only two modalities that are the red badge and the white badge (there are no golden, yellow or others). The crosses are golden, enameled in red or white, except those of silver that are in this metal, without enamel The plates are in classes Grand Cruz, Gold with the upper rectangle of silver Third, gold Second, overwhelmed silver

It's possible two concessions, the Grand Cross the 25.8.1939 Spanischer Orden "Gran Cruz ..." and other lower grade the 21.8.1939 "Spanischer Marinenverdienstkreuz" not Grosskreuz, perhaps 3rd class

Then, there are two different dates listed, which I believe are the Spanish award dates: "25. 08. 1939" and "21. 08. 1939". Can you perhaps find out which one of these dates is the correct Spanish award date? At this time Marschall's position was the Commander of Armoured Ships (09 February 1938-20 October 1939). No more information available. Nothing to report Also, you can see that his Grand Cross of the Spanish-Moroccan Order of Mehdauia is also listed. However, the date listed here "31. 10. 1937" is incorrect because you sent me a PDF document which says he was awarded this order on 5 November 1938. Is that right? The correct date of the concession is 5.11.1937, although the date of October 31 corresponds to the acts in the port of Ceuta, where it would be delivered, noting the concession date a few days later Of our recent book "Honores olvidados. Las condecoraciones del protectorado ...."

At the beginning of October 1937 the Deutschland was already repaired starting for Spanish waters next to a flotilla of destroyers, being tied between October 31 and November 2, 1937 in the port of Ceuta, where several acts and tributes for the deceased of the ship in May, both for the Falange and by the military and public authorities of the city. Taking advantage of the presence of the ship in Ceuta, at the beginning of that month, Brosch, the German consul in Tetuán, wrote to Tubau, of the diplomatic cabinet of the Alta Comisaria, providing him with a list of the Deutschland staff that should be convenient for the jalifa with la Mehdauia, finally granting twenty insignias on November 5, 1937. The Grand Cross for the Admiral Wilhelm Marschall, head of the German naval forces in Spanish waters at that time; the Commander of number of for Paul Wenneker, captain of the battleship Deutschland, who in 1940 would be appointed naval aggregate in Tokyo; that of the Officer, for ship lieutenant Felix Zymalkowski; the silver medals were for the sergeants Nikolaus Rathmann and Jakob Sehurnn, and 14 sailors received the bronze medal
