Iron Crosses as bravery awards to women
Daniel Krause replied to BlackcowboyBS's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
The 4 ladies with the EK2 in WW1 in my list are: Frieda Gessert, Elfriede Scherhans, geb. Buchholz Sophie Gräfin zu Törring-Jettenbach, Lonny Hertha von Versen. Not sure if Dr. Reimer did indeed get one. Best, Daniel -
No. As an Officer in the Prussian Army, active or not, he was a "Königlicher", - "Royal" Oberarzt. A Navy guy would be a "Kaiserlicher" - "Imperial", as the Navy was a Reichs- issue. If he would be related or better professionally connected to the Baden Family, he would be addresses a "großherzoglicher" "Hochwohlgeboren" was the courtesy title for all Officers, if they did not deserve something higher due to their noble status. Best, Daniel

Good stuff, thanks a lot!!! Schimpff and Nicolai - both got the Schwarzburg 3rd class with swords... No Hohenzollern as fas as we know. I've seen data from Dave's NARA-files about Schimpff, who was a Colonel in WW2, no Hohenzollern in. MAYBE the news got it wrong... Göricke got a HEK3X. Best, Daniel

Nice one! Most likely the Bavarian at the end should have swords, which are not shown here. The Bav. MVO was never awarded on the war ribbon without swords. 2 scenarions, which I see here; Reserve / Landwehr / Seewehr Officer at Major-level, with an Landwehr Long Service who did NOT serve active in 1897 to get the Centenary Or active Officer, MAjor-level as well, entered service just after 1897 and accumulated enough "time in" to get a DA XXV in 1919/1920 at the De-Mobilisation. I would bet on the 1st scenario. Best, Daniel
