Ok using the internet I found list of Bars awarded for China medal by unit also
break up of German forces by state / unit in China So I used reverse thinking on bars instead of units with bars I went through and combined 2 lists without bars and states !
So in my calculating if he was not awarded any bars it would be one of three NCOs
of course it my theory and I may be wrong but IMO its one of the following
FW Paul Skowranek 4 OEIR
Sgt Heinrich Lindeman 4 OEIR Both these units made up Baden and Prussian troops
3rd Co Prussian 4th co Baden received no bars
or Gefr Ammon 6 OEIR
made up of Prussians, Bavarians and Wuert. troops
1st and 2nd Companies made up of Prussians and Bavarians Received 2 bars
But 3 4 and 9th Companies were Prussians and received no bars !!!
So IMO its one of these 3 ? is there a list of men by CO ?
