A great source for you would be Roger J. Bender's book...."Legion Condor"....Copyright 1992. I have a document for the Spanish Cross in Bronze w/swords to Oberbootsmaat Wilhelm Homann who served on the battlecruiser "Deutschland" which was attacked off the coast of Spain in 1937. Also have his soldbuch, his urkunde for the High Seas Fleet medal, and a great photo album. This ship was later renamed the "Lutzow." Included in my collection are 5 of the 6 SPanish Crosses (I don't have the Sp. Cross in Gold w/diamonds for some reason - mainly cost), the 1936 Spanien 1939 cuff title, Condor Legion tank badge, etc. Bought all of thsi from Wolfe-Hardin over the years.
