    That's a pretty good synopsis Greg. Covers quite a few bases. Makes sense too.
    An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

      Thank you!!! Great explanation. It is still hard to believe that there are only 13,000 of the white ribbon versions.

        A big part of the recipients were officials, some kind of medics, Firmenbesitzer,
        members of the Red cross/Krankenpflege, bankers, managers, scientists and others.

        The most of the 13.ooo EK2w were awarded after 1918 till the mid of the 1920s.

        I have worked on a list - it has nearly 3.000 names.

          That is very interesting! How are you coming up with these names?

            Another weirdie for us to kick around. Are we having fun yet?
            Here's a non-combatant medalbar with abandoned black/white ribbon instead of the regulation white /black for non combatants.
            The give away is the Hindenburg Cross without swords.
            As always....Comments or brick bats welcome.
            Enjoy!

            Hi,

            This would have been a soldier who served the whole war in Germany and merited the black ribboned cross, and of course did not get the swords on his Hindie as he was not a combattant. Usually they were pretty stingy with the homefront black ribboned cross and I have not yet seen an example to a non officer.

            A medic in the front lines would have had a Hindie with swords.

            Best
            Chris
