    1. Another one for the submitted list: Olt dR Kurt Schreyer 

       

      From Hallische Nachrichten, 18.9.1918

      One of the Schultzes: Johannes. A rather late one, and should be a reserve officer, so maybe the Olt from FAR 15.

       

      From Hallische Nachrichten, 16.12.1918

    2. Ok, here is a tricky case:

       

      This is a HHOX notice for a

       

      Lt Paul Herrmann, from an RIR, and who also got the Hanseatic Cross. 

      Published in Hamburger Anzeiger, 14.6.1918

       

      So the name Paul Herrmann is not uncommon. There were two future Generals with that name:

       

      1) GM Paul Herrmann (1892-1974). Received HHOX 25.4.1918 as Pioneer (not Infantry) Olt (not Lt), from PiBat3. No Hanseatic Cross, according to Reichsheer RL. Can't be him, if they didn't make (several) huge mistakes. 

       

      2) GM Paul Reinhold Herrmann (1898-1980), served in Bundeswehr. No HHOX and no Hanseatic Cross, according to Reichsheer RL. Can't be him either.

    3. Here are two of the higher grades together, both with swords. We have v. Wrisberg, but I think we don't have Generalstabsarzt der Armee Prof. Dr. Otto von Schjerning yet: Commander with star with swords

       

      The award is also not in his list on Wikipedia:

      Could it be that we are missing more of the higher grades? This is General d.I. Moriz (sic!) von Lyncker, who got the Großkomtur with swords.
