Is it possible that they were awarded them after the start of WW2 so were issued around the same time frame as those for the Polish campaign?

Is there a list of the 183 awardees and are their service records available which could shed light on the dates for the award?

Dave, I wonder if he ever got the Kriegsverdienstkreuz (1939) for his service after April 1940? Thanks! P.S. When you write "General der Infanterie beim Oberbefehlshaber Ost", was he promoted to General der Infanterie or is that a title?

According to his personnel files he was only awarded the EK II Spange (19-09-1939) & EK I Spange (02-10-1939) during WW2.

I am currently researching the life of a German pilot that crash landed on the Isle of Wight in October 1940 and was taken prisoner. I would dearly like to know to which camp in the UK he was taken and if possible his release date, almost anything would help. Felwebel Horst Hellriegel is the name. 

This article ( https://www.countypress.co.uk/news/19070516.german-pilot-crash-landed-isle-wight/ ) makes an assumption by saying...

Horst spent the rest of the war as a POW. There were no camps on the Island until 1943 so he almost certainly went to the only British camp at that time, Grizedale Hall in Cumbria.

Sadly, despite best efforts, Horst’s post-war life is unknown.

The Red Cross does take requests on a quarterly basis for those seeking details on PoW's but when they open up for requests all the slots get taken within an hour or two so you need to be very quick.
