In the article on http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/germ...ross_index.htm
J. Calero and I wrote "The rare embroidered Crosses in Silver would have been privately made, unauthorized examples (if they exist)"
We have the proof that it was attributed - I attach pics of the uniform of General der Artillerie a.D. Franz Barckhausen (Chief of the Military Economic and Armaments Staff, Chief of the Primary Traffic Control, France and Belgium (from July 1942 to April 1943)
Führer-Reserve, detached to Paris for Special Assignments until 20 July 1943. Retired on 1 August 1943).
He was awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Silber on 31 August 1943
I was told about another example for a LW General
The article will be updated (+ some observations/corrections reported by collectors) as soon as time permit
