Ah that one - I came across him several times. An impostor.

We had him already, but some new info: Werner Calov, born 28.03.1880, was from Pioniere.
(Hemersche Zeitung, 26.4.1917)
He made Polizei-Oberst around 1930: http://recherche.landesarchiv.sachsen-anhalt.de/Query/detail.aspx?ID=93459

This will probably be the most promising focus for the last meters of our project to find missing HHOX awardees: career officers who got the HHOX in October or November 1918, not listed in Staatsanzeiger or MWB, and probably, at least in a number of cases, not even mentioned in newspapers, for various reasons. Some newspapers just stopped reporting awards, for example.
And we have to be clear: the list will never be fully complete, some just will not be found. The project has to be finalized at some point, though.
Westerberg is Fritz, from Essen.

"Krägelow" is Franz Krägeloh from Essen.

Very interesting! I don't think we had him yet!

That looks very interesting! We have an Olt dR Arthur Ungewitter (born 1895) so far, but no Max. Can you read the HHOX award date?
Ungewitter was promoted Lw Oberst in 1942/43, but the Luftwaffe sources that I have do not mention his HHOX.

New first name (last name a bit hard to read): Lt dR August Nocke from Hochlarmark. Acc. to VL born 19.10.XX in Eickel.
Gelsenkirchener Allgemeine Zeitung, 22.5.1918
This must be an error: Offz-Stellv. Robert Heibert certainly had the Golden MMC, but he cannot have had an HHOX.

Daniel, I am sorry but I have to say this: we cannot go on for another 10 or 15 years. We have put a lot of effort into this, and there is so much new information we have found, it has to go out and should not be withheld from the public. We now find only very few new cases per year, rather like 5-10, at maximum. That would take us another 5-10 years, at least. And we don't even know if that total number you mention is anywhere near correct.
Again, sorry, but someone has to bring this up.
Chris
