    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

     

    Adolf Davids' Personalakte was complete through to the end of 1919. He had the EK2 (25.9.14), EK1 (3.10.16), VAs (27.5.18), BZ3bXE (19.8.15) and the Baden Regierungsjubiläumsmedaille (1902). No HOH3X.

     

    The other active Hauptmann Davids was:

    Davids, Heinrich Julius Kurt
    *06.10.1874 in Bederkesa bei Cuxhaven, Lehe, †03.07.1956 in Karlsruhe

    - Hauptmann (1.10.1912), Platzmajor in Rastatt (Uniform IR 16), Bataillons-Kommandeur im RIR 34, Major am 15.7.1918, 1921 Polizeimajor in Saarbrücken, Major a.D.

    - Cent, BZ3bXE

    He is in the list, misspelled as "Berckemeyer". Berkemeyer is correct, according to the Militär-Wochenblatt, the Militär-Kabinett and the Prussian Verlustlisten. Born 9.3.1891 in Burgsteinfurt, he is listed by the University as missing in action and "für tot erklärt 1.11.1918".

     

    However, according to the Ehrenmal, the Lt.d.R. killed on 1.11.1918 was from LGR 109. Rudolf Berkemeyer was a Kriegsfreiwilliger in IR 47 and served in IR 118 and RIR 118. He was wounded 5 times and is not listed as "vermißt" in any Verlustliste. Nor is there any Lt. Berckemeyer/Berkemeyer listed as "vermißt" in a November 1918 Verlustliste or later. Therefore, I cannot say for certain if he died in 1918 or not.

     

    Berkemeyer received the HOH3X on 26.1.1918. He also received the Rettungsmedaille am Bande on 16.9.1918.

    The Hptm dR Winkler from RIR 11 was Amtsgerichtsrat in Zobten during WW1, but I couldn't find his first name. 

     

    There was an Oskar Winkler who was Amtsgerichtsrat in Delitzsch in 1924 (acc. to their address book), but I am not sure whether they are identical.

    The Militär-Wochenblatt (43/1931) gives his date of death as 17 November 1930 at Koselwitz, Kreis Rosenberg, Oberschlesien.

    We have a Karl von Hake, but I think we don't have him yet:

     

    Fritz Adolf Carl von Hake, born 15.8.1874 in Soldin. 1914 Hptm in 5. GzF. Cdr of IR 462, Maj aD. 

     

    Died 30.9.1958 in Bad Hersfeld (acc. to data from myheritage). 

     

    His HHOX is mentioned along with his other awards in a publication "Geschichte der brandenburgischen Familie von Hake", 1928:

    A Hauptmann Freiherr von Schade was gazetted with the HOH3X in September 1917. Unfortunately, there were two such Hauptleute, and I have no idea which was the HOH3X recipient. Max was a general staff officer, so he seems like the best bet, but Hermann was an infantry combat officer, so he can't be ruled out.

     

    1. Schade, Albert Carl Fritz Max Freiherr von, *07.05.1886 in Münster in Westfalen, gefallen 21.01.1945 in Ratibor.

    Known decorations:

    05.08.1942 1939 Spange zum Eisernen Kreuze 1. Klasse

     

    2. Schade, Hermann Carl Freiherr von, *03.10.1888 in Münster in Westfalen, † 21.11.2009 in Hamburg

    14.03.1907 aus der Hauptkadettenanstalt als Leutnant, vorläufig ohne Patent, dem Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 13 überwiesen

    30.08.1919 zur Disposition gestellt,  Hauptmann a.D.

    13.09.1938 SS-Brigadeführer

     

    Hermann's SS personnel file lists the EK1 and "Landesorden", among other later awards. Since the HOH3X is a Landesorden, he can't be ruled out on that alone.

     

    The third of the three brothers Freiherr von Schade was Carl Alfred, *18.09.1887 in Münster in Westfalen, †12.05.1955 in Wiesbaden. He was an Oberleutnant (5.9.1914) in the Schutztruppe für Deutsch-Südwestafrika, and was wounded and taken prisoner in March 1915. He was not promoted to Hauptmann until 1919 (backdated to 18.9.1915), so he can be ruled out for the HOH3X. He received a Charakter bump to Major which is not shown in the Ehrenrangliste. Other than the basic awards he would have had as a ST SWA officer (EK2, wound badge, Elefant), the only known award for Carl is the Rettungsmedaille am Bande, which he received on 23.4.1926.

    About the two Lotze:

     

    One is Robert Franz Benevenuto Lotze, Major aD from Pioniere, born 2.9.1875 in Osterode, died 1965, as is mentioned here:

    https://www.archiv-vegelahn.de/index.php/osterode-am-harz/item/5368-unter-dem-harze-nr-929-931-kindheit-in-osterode-vor-hundert-jahren-1875-1948 

     

    The other Lotze was Hauptmann aD in 1918, originally from FR 36. In 1914 as Lt kommandiert zur Haupt-Kadetten-Anstalt, but I don't find his first name.

    Some research about the SS-Schade (1888-1966) was done at AHF, the bio shown there (though I don't know where it comes from) does not list a HHOX:
