According to an old reference I have, the three Hanseatic Crosses were awarded according to the following:
For Bremen it was the 75th Infantry Regiment
For Hamburg it was the 76th Infantry Regiment
For Lubeck it was II.Bn, 167th Infantry Regiment
For the crews of the ships Bremen, Lubeck, and Hamburg.
For inhabitants of the three towns serving in other units, and for those serving in voluntary nursing units in those three towns.
Now . . . one of my latest ribbon bars has a Hamburg ribbon, and a Lubeck ribbon. What would be the criteria for such an award.
OR is this question moot, garnering quite a large 'I dunno'.
It's a question I have been wondering about for quite a while.
