JohanH Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 There were two von Winterfeld who got the Swedish order of the Sword 2nd class commander. Hans Carl Hugo (your guy I presume) who was adjutant for the kaiser and Hans Carl who was oberst. Hans Carl Hugo von Winterfeld got the award on June 2nd 1875 and Hans Carl got it on January 21st 1914. 1

About the Oberst: I did not find a Oberst von Winterfeld in 1914, but I did find Oberst (later Generalleutnant) Hans Karl von Winterfeldt (1862–1931) in 1914 as commander of the Braunschweigisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 92. Could that be him? Edited September 1, 2023 by Deutschritter
