Re: Generalleutnant z.V. Kurt Schreiber
Does anyone know if Schreiber was placed z.V. as a char. Generalleutnant and then given a patent (or its Wehrmacht equivalent) in 1941, or as a Generalmajor z.V. and then promoted to Generalleutnant z.V.?
I've annotated the awards on the eMedals photo. The first bar is a German-only bar, following Third Reich precedence of wartime before peacetime German state awards. The other two follow a modified Prussian Army precedence, with Prussian orders and medals first, then state wartime awards, then state peacetime awards, then non-German awards. Even here, there are quirks. The second bar places state orders first (EH3b and SLH3) and then the Anhalt jubilee medal, while the third seems to prioritize by the level of the state, with the order duchy-duchy-principality.
I am uncertain about the last three on the third bar. As you can see on the second bar, the final ribbon - the green ribbon of the PL4 - is fading to almost yellow. I think it is the ribbon indicated on the third bar (third-from-last), but it might be the last one. I am partially colorblind, but that last one looks reddish and might have an edge stripe, which would not fit the Persian order, while the third-from-last looks like an even-more faded yellowish green. If I'm off, and that one is the PL4, then it is the third-from-last for which there is a question mark.

His Ernestine was a Knight 2nd Class (EH3b), with the "b" missing in the RH Ranglisten. As usual, missing from the RH Ranglisten are campaign/commemorative medals and prewar peacetime foreign awards. In addition to the awards which Nicolas has listed above, he also had the Centenary Medal, the Anhalt Regierungsjubiläumsmedaille, the Officer of the Persian Order of the Lion and Sun (PL4) and the Knight of the Siamese Order of the White Elephant (SE5).Nicolas7507 wrote: ↑01 Feb 2020, 10:32Schreiber did not receive a HOH3X (Hohenzollern).

Generalleutnant and then given a patent (or its Wehrmacht equivalent) in 1941, or as a Generalmajor z.V. and then promoted to Generalleutnant z.V.?

Re: Generalleutnant z.V. Kurt Schreiber
Great analysis, Dave! One small correction: The last ribbon on the top bar is green and I guess the PL4 would fit better in that case. The last ribbon on the bottom bar could be a St.Alexander.Dave Danner wrote: ↑15 Aug 2021, 09:40Does anyone know if Schreiber was placed z.V. as a char.

Askropp : Why, it's just as Dieter wrote above (Charakter since 1931)
In PV./HPA he is registered on 25.11.39 already as GL.zV. but it must be an error because in another PV./HPA he is promoted m.W. v. 1.2.41 from char. GL.zV. to full GL.zV. (like given by Krug, Keilig, etc.)

Re: Generalleutnant z.V. Kurt Schreiber
It seems like I have seen cases where a retired officer with a Charakter bump was reactivated at that rank, and others where he was reactivated at his last permanent rank. That was what I was hoping to clarify.
The last ribbon on the first bar does look like another one of those green fading to yellowish ones, but that bar is German-only. It is a fading Centenary Medal.
You guys are right that a St. Alexander would make sense for the last row. Is that award confirmed somewhere?
