Thank you

New update

The differences between second and third class crossings are almost impossible to appreciate in black and white photographs. The plaque of 2nd class, is in silver with castles and lions in gold. The plaque of 3rd class is in gold with castles and lions in silver. The Great Cross is the third class with the sash, which is not seen in any of the photographs of the German admirals.

That is why it is necessary to find the concession decrees where the class is specified

I dont know the date for this admiral

It depends on the employment he had when he was granted. The model of the pic is used from 1939

The second class cross, for commander, lieutenant commander, and also lieutenant colonels and assimilated

Third class, for captains, colonels and assimilated.

I suposse thath for this class

Update of the ribbon sheet

Thank you VJK

Previously I found the name as Giichi Nagata, chief of the Independent Field Artillery Brigade in the 3rd Army.

The French presence in the Spanish military

Autor: Comisión Española de Historia Militar

This ninth volume of the Cuadernos de Historia Militar focuses on the French presence in the various constituent parts of the Spanish militia, a presence that has its particularities and differences to those studied in previous volumes, but which can be traced over time, beginning with the Reconquest and ending in the middle of the Twenty Century. Men, units, materials and procedures were elements of this presence.
