    1. Suhrkamp - I have only richard in my files, HOH3X and Oldenburg knights cross 2nd class with swords. No HEK for Heinrich, maybe he's got a HEK silver medal with swords, for which I have no award rolls... Best, Daniel
    2. Hello friends, thanks a lot!!! Lt dR Friedrich Craß - I am a bit reluctant to "believe" it. From the files in Doorn about awards of the HOH after 1918 there was only ONE heavly disucced case of a late award of a HOH3X for WW1. That was Hugo Rudel in 1927. Frhr. von Schade - my mistake! I did mix up 2 of that guys. Best, Daniel
    3. Thanks a lot, Chris!!! Davids- in my files I have "wohl nicht Adolf" written in my list. Maybe Dave can clear this up with his deeper view in the Baden Archive stuff. Best, Daniel
    4. I see.... Quite odd. An End-17 award of a HOH should be published everywhere... Oct / Nov 18 would be something else... Best, Daniel
    5. Thanks a lot!!!! Haase - hmpf... I have Haase as Lt and KompFhr, first name Walther. Haase, the flyer - no HOH3X in Dez.17 to him, no princely HEK as well.... H.-H. von der Osten got a Ernestinian knights cross with swords, no HOH or HEK acc. my data. Best, Daniel
    6. nice one! That MIGHT be Leon von Müller, from IR 76, in WW1 General Staffer, retired as Major, recalled for WW2 and made Colonel. Best, Daniel
    7. FAA should be FA(A)... my mistake, Flieger Abteilung Artillerie, Berger was an Observer. Best, Daniel
    8. very nice!!! No proper ID at the moment. Is there a chance, that this is Rudolf von Busse, although he should have a pilots badge from WW1... Best, Daniel
    9. Thanks a lot!!! Berger, Wilh. - most likely the FAA 209 guy Briese, Carl - acc. my data plm, RAO2EX, KO2aX, but no HOH. As he was already a GenMaj in Aug 14, he was way too senior for a HOH3X. Next step would be the HOH2X but no proof of that. Best, Daniel
    10. Hello Friends, thanks a lot! I agree with Söderbaum about Kölker, Beaulieu - no, I do not think so. There were some cases, even late in the war, that the plm was awarded without a previous HOH3X. I had him quite long on my "suspects-list". Best, Daniel
    11. Most likely that bar belonged to Gustav Seelmann-Eggebert, 1868-1949 In 1914 he was a Major in Telegraphen-Bataillon No. 3, later Armee-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 5, latest rank LtCol. uo to 1914 all his awards are present at the bar: Red Eagle 4 with X, Crown Order 4, Long Service Cross, SWA, China, Hess. Philipp knight 2nd class. In WW1 he could add the "usual Iron Crosses", Bavarian Military merit Order 4th class with crown and swords and Wuertt. Order of the Crown knight with swords Best, Daniel
    12. For me it looks nice and legit. 1st place ist most likely a RedEagle Order 4th class with swords. Last ribbon could be a hessian Philipp-Order. Best, Daniel
    13. Hello Friends, I have Weydenhammer as Weidenhammer in my lists, Bavarian Officer. BMV4X, EK2, BZ3bX, HT, ÖM3K, TH No Hohenzollern, either Royal or Princely... ...and lots of THANKS!!! Best, Daniel
    14. That is the so called Grosser Roter Adlerorden, awarded between 1792 and 1810, before the Order was split up in 3 classes and got his final shape. Best Daniel
    15. Here ? very nice bar! congrats! indeed a quite unusual Combo and indeed most likely a Major. active guy, sure a Captain in 1914, WW1 Major, maybe retired Lt Col. we are still short of good info on Lippe-Detmold recipients, but sooner or later I am sure, this bar gets a Name back. best, Daniel
    16. The missing of the Hindenburg cross might indicate, that the bar was made before 1934... Numbers, how many bravery medals went to Germany is unknown to me, for sure there were thousands. Lots of German units served alongside Austrians in the east and south. best, Daniel
    17. No. 2 different things... As I mentioned, about 5.000 combatants EK2 on the black ribbon were awarded for merits at home. The EK2 on the white ribbon for civilians and officials was awarded about 3.000 times in WW1 and about 10.000 times in the years after. Best Daniel
    18. Yes, right. If I remember correctly, about 5.000 EK2 on the combatants ribbon were handed out for merits at home. Best, Daniel
    19. Hi Sascha, I am not aware of ANY Bavarian enlisted or NCO with the Prussian MVK. There was one with the Hohenzollern Inhaber with swords - legendary Max Müller, but thats all. Best, Daniel
    20. Dear v. Perlet, Please understand finally that this special war ribbon for the MVO was NOT introduced until 1913.... so the pic can NOT pre-date this year. Awardees who got the MVO for war merits with swords before 1913 did still wear it on the standard ribbon...but could wear it AFTER 1913 on the new created war ribbon. Its a plain WW1 pic. Nothing more. Best, Daniel
