    5. The Major aD Edler von der Planitz from FAR 70 is probably this Hans (1863-1932): https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz109343.html . Acc to Verlustlisten, he was originally in 1. GRFAR. Claus Piedmont (1882-1953) owned a winery (there is even a painting with his HHOX): http://www.piedmont.de/weingut.html
    6. Walther von Nerée, died in Hamburg in 1949. Hans Nepf was reactivated as Oberst and became commander of Stalag VII A from 1939-43. Died in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1952, acc. to a book "Auf den Spuren verlorener Identitäten". Lt dR Nellner is Adolf Nellner from Stickhausen/Aurich acc. to Verlustlisten and genealogical data, 1888-1975. He got his EK1 personally from Hindenburg (https://germansiniowa.lib.uiowa.edu/items/show/2253). Reactivated as Major dR zV and cdr of Marinefestungspionierbataillon 313 in 1943/44 (https://www.axishistory.com/various/373-germany-kriegsmarine/kriegsmarine-landgestuetzte-verbaende/7591-marinefestungspionierbataillon-313)
    7. Some more info from genealogical data: Georg Bertheau, Kaufmann und Fabrikant, died in Schleswig in 1968
    8. Some missing data on RK winners: Oberst Herbert Simon, 1897-1971 Vizeadm Eberhard Wolfram, 1882-1947 Oberst Enno-Erich von Limburg, 1893-1977 GdF Kurt Pflugbeil, 1890-1955 Oberst Oskar (not Otto) Radwan, 1894-1942 Ernst von Chappuis died 1970 acc. to a publication called "Zur Geschichte und Nachgeschichte der Marburger Jäger"
    9. If you want to do research on Hadra, his papers are in the collections of the Center for Jewish History (New York): https://archives.cjh.org//repositories/5/resources/17538
    10. The HdR Helm was from Polizei. Amtliche Nachrichten des Polizeipräsidiums in Berlin, Juni 1918 The 1933 Schupo Preußen DAL shows only one Helm, Paul Helm, Polizei-OTL in Wuppertal, born 1880. Confirmed: Bruno Magnus was in FußA:
    11. Here is an article from Westfälische Zeitung, 28.8.1943, which mentions three v. Consbruchs getting the HHOX during WW1. In the list, we have Leopold from IR 75 and Oskar from FAR 14, later FAR 76. There was a third Hauptmann, first name Otto, in FAR 25, but he was KIA in 1914 already. The only other possibility would be the Lt dR v. Consbruch in FAR 22, but I don't have any info on him.
    12. Oh! Very interesting! I think there is a good chance that this might be the same guy.
    13. This is probably the LtdL Schmalz from IR 352 in our list, first name Robert. Died in 1921. Leipziger Tageblatt und Anzeiger, 02.08.1921 First name: Heinrich Breuer, died in 1941 Westfälische Zeitung, 1.4.1941
    14. There might be a confusion here: We have one Prinz Solms-Hohensolms-Lich in our list, but it looks like it is Ludwig from JB 11, not Ferdinand (Hptm in IR 94, KIA 1918). Gießener Anzeiger, 13.9.1917
    15. I would guess the Hptm dR, too. Here's another first name: Hptm Herbert Kaase. Oldenburger Volkszeitung, 18.1.1918
    16. First name, not sure we have him yet: H. Becker from Oldenburg, Oberlehrer. no rank mentioned. Hermann acc. to Adressbuch Oldenburg 1915. Nachrichten für Stadt und Land (Oldenburg), 17.5.1918
