Thought I'd share the photo. This one is mine. It was auctioned off as part of German General Paul Bader's estate. It was found in one of his trunks.

He must be wearing another decoration. The award I have from his estate is a civil decoration.freiherr wrote:I am no expert in this matter! Yes, the man with the big star in his breast pocket.
Bader was the senior commander in Serbia... so would that make it military?
This was Kampfschule Nisch in Bulgaria. Naval officer was Bulgarian. Adm Ivanoff
