    1. 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

    2. 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 ...."

       

      On May 29, 1937, the Republican Air Force bombers attacked the rada of the port of Ibiza, reaching the German battleship Deutschland (that breached the regulations of the non -intervention committee of anchoring in a belligerent port) which failed apparently, erroneously with the Canary Cruise, causing a hundred injureds, 31 of them dead. 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

      The Historical Tour and its seven halls, which are identified in red in the guide, intend to show the evolution of the Army from the Hispanic Monarchy to the present day. This articulation of the exhibition model developed for the historical discourse, promotes and enriches the reading of the report as it allows not only a linear chronological tracking, but it is possible to establish cross-cutting thematic readings that have as a basis the described routes. The Thematic Tour and its thirteen rooms, identified in yellow, are oriented to the collections, complementing the historical discourse with the reading of other aspects related to the military institution, sometimes showing items belonging to the same discipline and others belonging to a multidisciplinary character.

       

      The Alcazar has preserved within its walls a series of unique spaces that have been put in value so that the public can visit them and know them in situ. These places are the Alcazar Tour and are identified in the guide in blue color in the different halls. In each of them we will find an explanatory text with the history and the use they were given. The Imperial Chapel, included in this tour due to its size and architectural importance, has been incorporated as an independent exhibition space.

    5. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have awarded 14 Spanish military who are part of the Ukrainian personnel training operation in Spain.

      In the presence of the Spanish Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, the Ukrainian Defense aggregate, Colonel Serhii Vtorykh has delivered the decorations granted by the commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces in "name of all Ukrainians."

      They have received the ‘Honor Distinction for Army Assistance’, granted by the Commander in Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

      The Ukrainian military aggregate highlighted in his speech that Spain "was one of the first countries to offer material help for their struggle" and "which is also among the first they offered to train our troops at the most dramatic moment for Ukraine." “Our soldiers appreciate the spirit of camaraderie, equality and human concern that reigns in the center of Toledo. Know all those present that Ukraine will never forget what our friends have done so far, or what they will do in the future. ”

      Since November 2022, in which Spanish participation in this training mission was approved under the operational control of the MOPS, in the Eumam-UA operation, more than 600 military has participated. This huge effort of personnel and media are a sample of the involvement of the Spanish State with the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the defense of its population and its democratic values.
