Admiral Paul Fanger viewtopic.php?f=5&t=239341&p=2179073&hi ... r#p2179073
This better quality photo confirms he was awarded the Kommandeurkreuz des Königlich Ungarischen Verdienstordens (worn around the neck). There are no Hungarian Breast Stars visible, so that means the Class can't be Großoffizierskreuz.
Please
delete the "(
not confirmed)" bracket after his
Kommandeurkreuz des Königlich Ungarischen Verdienstordens.
Also,
delete the second photo and
add this better quality photo:

Please add:
-Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938 (add it below the Wehrmacht Dienstauszeichnung IV. bis I. Klasse)
For
Admiral Paul Wenneker viewtopic.php?f=5&t=239341&p=2180240&hi ... r#p2180240
Please add:
-Medaille zur Erinnerung an die Heimkehr des Memellandes (add it below the Kaiserlich Japanischer Orden von der Aufgehenden Sonne I. Klasse)
Thierry told me before that Wenneker was awarded the Memel Medaille. However, he didn't have proof. But just now I realized why Wenneker must have had this award. During the occupation of Memel in March 1939, Wenneker was the Commandant of the Armoured-Ship "Deutschland". And on 23 March 1939 Hitler traveled to Memel on board the "Deutschland".
You can also
delete the sentence after the "
*" at the bottom.
Also add for Wenneker:
-Großoffizierskreuz des Königlich Spanisch-Marrokanischen Mehdauia-Ordens (05. 11. 1937) (add it below the Kaiserlich Japanischer Orden des Heiligen Schatzes III. Klasse)
*Note: In Spanish this Class is called "Comendador de número" (in English: "Commander of Number"), however, in German terminology this Class corresponds to Großoffizierskreuz. See here for more details:
