Hello,


In german review Deutsches Soldaten Jahrbuch between 1981 and 1987, 7 articles give all the names of the officers in the marine who received the Hohenzollern cross with swords. And you will find another list in Geile, Marine Wochenblatt, 1985.

Hello Christophe


Thank you for the source information concerning HHOX awards to U-Boat Commanders. I will have to try the library. Perhaps they will be able to borrow copies for me. Do you have addresses for the Deutsches Soldaten Jahrbuch and for the Marine Wochenblatt ?

Best wishes, Pete

Hans Adam

I do not believe that Hans Adam received the HHOX.... The image of him is from the 1930s and his medal bar does not include this award, which often was awarded prior to the PLM...
