Hallo Eric, personally I tend to view anything "scratched" on the back of a medal / Cross with suspicion. As its all to easy to do, and no way to verify that it belonged to the person named. No doubt there were many Jewish receipiants of the EK I and EK II and other German State awards, long before the nazi edict against Jews serving in the Armed Forces of the Reich. Many are well documented, as are the stories of old Jewish WW1 veterans showing their medal bars as they were being rounded up for transportation. I seem to recall a monument at Verdun dedicated to Jewish Combatants, but cannot remember if it was for German Jews, French Jews or all Jews who fought at Verdun. Kevin in Deva.
