    1. Haase's Personalbogen as teacher explicitly lists, among other awards, a "Hoh. Hausorden": https://archivdatenbank.bbf.dipf.de/actaproweb/image.xhtml?id=4424b649-22bd-45d2-9461-288e0eb77244 https://archivdatenbank.bbf.dipf.de/actaproweb/archive.xhtml?id=Vz++++++1d7f76af-59b8-40a8-9395-a5e761f394ca
    2. Might be a Princely one, but some "Hausorden von Hohenzollern" is listed for Lt (acc. to VL) Hans-Henning von der Osten (1899-1960) in the Deutsche Biographie: https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz73895.html
    3. More about Walther Stennes (1895-1983), who went into SA, later left for China, helped reorganise Chiang Kai-Shek's army and commanded his bodyguards: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_Stennes
    4. Karl Spathelf died in 1964: https://www.villinger-geschichten.de/spathelf-villingen-importierte-waren-aus-aller-welt/
    5. More about Dr. Walter Schönbrunn (1889-1960): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Schönbrunn <
    6. More data about Reichsgerichtsrat Paul Schmidt (1886-1967), former Lt dR FAR: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Schmidt_(Richter)
    7. and about Paul Reymann (1879-1933): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Reymann According to research at AHF and Deutsche Biographie, GM Max Thoenissen/Thoennissen (1887-1969) had the HHOX as well: https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=249946 https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz132032.html
    8. Reusch from HR 11 is Hermann Reusch (1896-1971), later a CEO (he is also in the Verlustlisten): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Reusch
    9. Curt Freiherr von Salmuth died in 1981 (other awards here as well): https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz106402.html A new one? Prof. Dr. Heinrich Quiring (1885-1964) is listed in the Deutsche Biographie with a Hohenzollern: https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/pnd116318562.html The entry does not explicitly say "with swords", but Deutsche Biographie might have been sloppy. He is in the Verlustlisten as Lt dR from FAR 54, I would think it must have an X award.
    10. Additional data about Leopold v. Kleist, 1872-1946: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_von_Kleist_(Oberst,_1872) Kritzinger is Friedrich Wilhelm - who was one of the participants in the Wannseekonferenz: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_Kritzinger_(Ministerialdirektor)

    13. Ahh! I had forgotten - but so he is indeed listed in the Königsberger, just as I predicted.
    14. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 6.11.1918: Flyer Lt Büttner, leader of a Jasta (he is probably the one from RFAR 70) and Lt Willy Nelson from Königsberg - this should be an entirely new one.
    15. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 31.10.1918: We had him already, but here is more info about Olt dR Paul Reichwaldt: Prof. Dr. Paul Oskar Reichwaldt, born 8.11.1885 in Arnau/Kreis Osterode, died 19.6.1965 in Berlin (West) (acc. to ancestry) This text about him appeared in the Ostpreußen-Warte 1955:
    16. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 20.10.1918: We have Kreddig already. Olt Ganswindt from Wadang/Allenstein is most probably Herbert Ganswindt (born around 1889), whose death notice (at 90) appeared in the Ostpreußenblatt in 1978:
    17. Ah - the guys in Berlin have woken up and made progress in digitizing their newspapers: Here we have a Lt and Kpführer Karl Müller from Tilsit. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 8.10.1918
    18. FAA is Festungs-Artillerie-Abteilung, right? According to his bio, Berger was from infantry, IR 13, is that transfer possible? Friedrichfranz Feeser: 1875-1938 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrichfranz_Feeser
