Paul R Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 That is an odd combo... A combatant EK2 and a NONcombatant Hindenburg Cross. How common is this duo?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Stimson Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 It's not common. (I wish I had one!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I read a couple of books on the Iron Cross a couple of years ago. I remember reading somewhere that noncombatants sometimes received the combatant version... for reasons unknown.But that leads me to another question... Why would this indiviual received the Hindenburg Cross without swords. Unless one of the medals on this bar is a manufactoring mistake!Best regardsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have a set like taht, or at least the documents. the guy was at a HQ somewhere and got his EK for service.when it came to applying for his HK he was a non cambattant.bestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Y Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Thanks for sharing picture and info....Now for a dumb question.Was there ever a double made with the ek2 and the widow cross donNot likely, but a 3-place with EKII, Frontk?mpfer, and NOK is possible. I had a stickpin with that group, but in a weak moment let it slip away Edited October 13, 2005 by Tom Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
