    More than one grade of the Hindenburg Cross?


    Recommended Posts

    Wondering if anyone has come across any regulations regarding receipt and wear of the  combatants or non-combatants version along with the version that was awarded to next-of-kin (the black medal / white ribbon).  Would it have been possible and/or permissible for an older soldier with a son who was KIA to have ended up with both?

    Hi,

     

    "Ein Vater, der Frontkämpfer gewesen ist und zwei Söhne im Weltkriege verloren hat, kann nach seiner freien Wahl entweder das Frontkämpferehrenkreuz oder das Elternkreuz, aber nur eins von beiden beantragen."

     

    [A father] can apply for either the Front Combatant Cross of Honour or the Parental Cross, but only one of them, according to his free choice.

     

    Uwe
