Deutschritter Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Daniel, one short question: When you write 2nd Class, ist that beginning at the top (then it would be a Großkreuz) or at the bottom (then Kommandeur)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Good question, which I can not properly answer. My files say 2nd class. From his rank in the late 30ies, I would assume he's got a Commanders grade. Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thank you! Maybe even Großoffizier ... I now at least know the date: 20 January 1941. https://www.boe.es/datos/pdfs/BOE//1941/042/A00971-00974.pdf Daniel, do you happen to have anything on Rittmeister Heinrich Danckelmann (later General der Flieger) between 1914 and 1918? I would be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Danckelmann got nothing more than a EK1 and a black wound badge in WW. Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol I Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I wonder whether these are his decorations (the lot was sold a couple of years ago in Germany, but the name of the awardee was not disclosed at the request of the family). It will add the Order of the Crown of Romania and the Order of Roman Eagle to the list of WWII awards. Edited August 29, 2022 by Carol I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
