Blood Order recipients list

[wolfslair]

Hello all, Is there a list of blood order recipients available?
Do list numbers change for first and second pattern medals?
I'm after Dr Friedrich Weber's blood order number if known.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 1st pattern list goes to about # 1500 with names and numbers.
The 2nd pattern lists only contain the names and no numbers are listed. Someday, I hope they are able to locate the number key to go with the names.

Dr. Weber's Blood Order was No. 874, but wasn't he in the original group of awardees dated November 9, 1933?

Also, he didn't die until July 1955. After doing time in various Allied prisons after the war, he resumed his old profession of veterinarian.

I've attached a wartime photo of him, circa 1942.

Hi Wolfslair,
I have the list if you want it, its in PDF format and 40mgs in size.
Let me know if you want it. Also Dr Weber is listed as Dr. Friodrich Weber, just a typo methinks

Most BO's were awarded in 1934.

Most BO's were awarded in 1934.

Which one was latest awarded? Reinhard Heydrich on his funeral pillow?

Heydrich's was the last posthumous award of the BO made in 1942. Others may have been awarded later.
The 1st pattern were all awarded by 1935.
Some of the Putsch participants were awarded the 2nd pattern after 1938 who didn't get in before the 1st striking ended.

Hey guys, thank you all very much for your prompt input and reply.
Napalm, that pdf file you sent is awesome and very much appreciated
Does anyone know the whereabouts of Weber's BO? Did it survive I wonder?
Also where could I find picture(s) of Dr Weber wearing his SS Honour Sword?
Sorry about so many questions but if you don't ask you don't learn..

One interesting thing when looking at the 1st pattern recipients list is that you will notice two dates listed next to most of the recipients names. One date is usually 1934 when the BO was awarded and another date from the early 1940's. My guess is that the second later date was the date that the BO commission made sure that the recipient was still qualified to retain the Order. ie. still a Party member etc. Any other opinions?
