Schlesische Privilegierte Zeitung is a good source, Matty!
8.12.1918, Ulrich Kaufmann should be a new first name:
20.2.1919, RM dR v. Rohr was KIA in 1918:
Now this is a very peculiar evidence from 1945: a "W. Vater" from the Paderborn area lost a case with his HHOX medal bar at the station and was looking for it. So if he is the (former Lt dR) Vater in our list, we now know at least his first initial.

Lt dL Lakenberg was a teacher in Gladbeck, but I don't have his first name.

It looks like the Emil Flender in our list might be rather Emil Fleuder, from Hervest-Dorsten.

Hello everyone,
I haven't posted in this section before, if this is the wrong place please let me know. My question: is it possible to identify the brand of Field Marshal Manstein's watch in the picture below? He is meeting with Turkish generals in 1943.
Regards
Chris
I guess this has been discussed before, but still: Did Göring really wear two Luftwaffe long service crosses instead of two medals? Is there any photo that shows him wearing this medal bar? It would belong in our "Mistakes in Wear" thread.
(Certainly, crosses look much fancier.)
