These two German Generals

Hello Fellows!

Peter von der Goeben and Joachim Schwatlo-Gesterding had something in common. They were both born in 1903. They severed on the Eastern Front as Chief of Staff of an Army or Corps. They both were awarded the German Cross in Gold. They each commanded a Division near the end of the war. Last but not least, they both joined the Bundeswehr and retired as Lt. Generals. My question is,were they both awarded high neck decorations from other countries that are allied to Gemany?
