I don't think so although eventually I expect they will get round to it - if they still exist obviously.

Via Invenio, the Bundesarchiv have started uploading the award lists for the KvK & EK for various divisions (the RH 7 series of files). Some show as being digitised but have yet to be made available for download while others can be downloaded for free while others are not showing at all (but probably will do in time). It is a great resource but will now also benefit fakers as it will give them access to real names, dates of award and units.
If you're not sure how to navigate to the files just follow the path set out below.On Invenio
(Upper Window)
Norddeutscher Bund und Deutsches Reich (1867/1871-1945) - Militär - Reichswehr und Wehrmacht 1919 bis 1945/1946 - Spitzenbehörden - RH 7 OKH / Heerespersonalamt
(Lower window)
RH 7 OKH/Heerespersonalamt - 6 Orden und Ehrenzeichen - 6.1 Verleihungslisten - 6.1.1 Kriegsverdienstkreuz and 6.1.2 Eisernes Kreuze
Two scans taken from the EK award lists for 1.Infanterie-Division to give you an idea of the quality (each scan is about 2MB in size).

And in addition to the one above, does anyone have the signature of future Generalleutnant Eugen Demoll to compare with these ones please?
In the sole service history I have found, he took over as Kdr Wehrbezirkskommando Ludwigshafen on 15th May 1936 which would fit the dates, but is it possible that the signature is that of his predecessor? The first letter in the signature looks like a B but I can also see the ...ll at the end so am 50:50 at the moment as to what to think.

Next one is this one. Holds the position of Kommandeur of WBK Siegen in June 1939. The only name I can find is dated January 1939 which is Wilhelm Reuter (Born: 12th March 1884 & Died 29th Jan 1945) and promoted to Oberst 1st February 1942 but I just can't see that name in the signature. Can anyone confirm if he was still in that position for the date shown?

A researcher will charge anything up to €70 for the first hour regardless of whether the file has 1 page or 100.
If you apply via the link, sometimes Bundesarchiv will do it for free or sometimes they charge but I don't know how much and sometimes they don't reply and will send you any file out of the blue.

Can anyone recognise these two Kriegsmarine signatures. If they stayed in the navy for WW-2 I would imagine that they would have been promoted at least once or twice, but they could have just as easily been retired.
Signature one is for a Korvettenkapitän in Kommando Sperrschule in 1934. It looks like it could start with a 'von'.
Signature two is for a Korvettenkapitän and Kommandeur I.Schiffsstammabteilung der Ostsee in 1937.
