The "Nachauflage" (1992) [addendum/2nd ed.] of the book by Horst Scheibert lists 50 recipients like that. 11 of them have been listed in the new standard work by Patzwall/Scherzer (2001,2003,2007) in the meatime and therefore can be regarded as confirmed. To enable further research, open for final confirmations as well as for rejections/proof of the contrary the status of the remaining 39 soldiers should be regarded as "credibly proven" per Scheibert and therefore this group is listed here for the time being.

Best regards,
Shawn

To put my result in front :
it should read -> Grenadier-Lehr-Brigade ; for sure : Heerestruppe, under command of : AOK 14 / HGr C (Italy)
order : Org. I/17364/44 v. 5.6.44 [Tessin] ;
not confirmed 100% : attached to 3. Panzergrenadier-Division

Infanterie-Lehr-Regiment / Inf.Schule Döberitz as a field unit was sent to Italy (on order of Hitler) in january 1944 to strenghten the units at the Anzio bridgehead. Was attached to 3. Pz.Gren.Div / 14. Armee.
Redesignated "Grenadier-Lehr-Brigade" on 04.06.1944. Finally was incorporated to 98. ID as Gren.Lehr-Rgt 117 on 18./28.10.1944.

3. Pz.Gren.Div : -> transfered to Florenz, late june 1944, occupying a line west of Florenz
july 1944 (remnants) : XIV. AK / 14. Armee / HGr C

Now, place of action "Tognarino" is in the greater area of Florenz , which allows the conclusion :
Gren.Lehr-Brigade still was attached to 3. PGD in july 1944 (?)

of note what is to extract of the 3. PGD DDD list (EBS recipients) :
Knetsch, Wilhelm, 15.09.1944, Oberst, verst. Inf.Lehr-Rgt. (unterstellt)
Zehender, Siegfried, 15.08.1944, Oblt., 8./verst.Inf.Lehr-Rgt. (unterstellt)

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Orden/Ehrenblatt%20des%20Deutschen%20Heeres.htm
Zehender listed

guess :
The "Pz.Gren" for the Heer unit could be a mistake (by the clerk) with SS-Panzergrenadier-Lehr-Regiment, which was at the Ligurische Küste since may 1944 until it was incoporated into 16. SS-Div "RFSS" in june 1944.

NOTE: I’ve also included these two recipients of the Ehrenblattspange des Heeres that MIGHT be included in the “GD” list. I’m not certain if Beck-Broichsitter was still assigned to “GD” when he received his award (Scheibert did not have his specific unit listed). In the case of Rupp, I’ve never heard of a Krim-Bataillon “GD”. Can anyone shed any light on this battalion?

1. Beck-Broichsitter, Helmut, 07.06.1943, Hptm., Fhr. einer Kampfgruppe

Beck-Broichsitter recieved the EBS within 23. Panzer-Division.
09.11.1942 he was commanded into Führer-Reserve OKH and simultaneously
commanded to 23. Pz.Div for Generalstabs-Ausbildung. 16.05.1943 his oakleaves
proposal was presented for carrying out actions as leader of Kampfgruppen.
Was rejected, instead he got the Ehrenblattspange. Proceeding that often took part
when OL were denied.

NOTE: This Oakleaves entry is frequently listed as a “HG” award; however, I believe Schirmer should be listed under Fsch.Jäg.Rgt. 16.

Schirmer, Gerhart, 18.11.1944 (657), Oberstleutnant, Kdr. Fsch.Jäg.Rgt. 16 (Ost) (On 24 Sep 1944, the Fsch.Jäg.Rgt. 16 was transferred to the Fsch.Pz.Gren.Div. 2 “HG” and redesignated Fsch.Pz.Gren.Rgt. 3 “HG”.)

Gerhart Schirmer got the KC with Fsch.Jäg.Rgt 16 (Ost)
for action with that rgt in Lituania and East Prussia ; at Goldap and Nemmersdorf.
After the fighting at Memel and a.d. Rominte (the proposal was made for that whole time period) rgt 16 was renamed "HG" (24.09.1944 at Radom).

Fallschirmjäger ( Parachute Divisions / Regiments)

note :
the Fsch.Jäg lists are in a way different to the standard list structure used so far.
I have renounced to count through the entire divisions, because they often were not in united combat. If I’m correct, the regiments can be regarded to be the main combat units, often used independently on different times and at different places. It is the same even for some battalions. That doesn’t mean, Fsch.Jäg.Divs didn’t fight at times as a whole division and under div command (Italy) ; Fsch.Jäg experts may add more detailed info, also on the AHFactbook.
Therefore the regiments and their battalions are mainly listed and counted. In addition the cdrs and divisional units are listed also, which makes it possible to get a number in total for the divisions.
At least all recipients are (hopefully) listed and you hopefully find it useful.

edit : numbers in total for the entire divisions are provided additionally / Feb 2009 / Bernd
