arb Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The 1870 Marine Rangliste shows the "Hohenzollernsche Denkmünze" among his awards and decorations. I believe that is the one you are asking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what other decorations are listed for him in the 1870 Marine Rangliste? Many thanks Edited May 31, 2020 by Kriegsmarine Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
