I think the last missing is Luftschutz-Ehrenzeichen, what do you think?

I would agree.

Here is a photo of him wearing his medal bar which may help in general.

I'm still not sure if it's Ung. or Österr. Kriegserinnerungsmedaille... But in general, I have tendency to trust Thierry:D

Luftschutz-Ehrenzeichen has all sense, he was Inspekteur der Flakartillerie.

Not sure for Ungarisches (no swords on ribbon).
10 Medalbar :
EK II, HOH3X, BMV4X, HH, HC 14-18, WH 25 (2), ÖE3K or Bayer Jubil. Medal, ÖM3K, ???.

Luftschutz possible on the last ribbonbar of the top.

[Shakar]

The last one could most probably be Kriegserinnerungsmedaille (dunno which one), less probable is Tapferkeitsmedaille. Let's wait for Gregg

I have many doubts. Sorry, Shakar.

Welcome to the club...

Just small correction, it's not PRL Medaille but Jubiläums-Medaille für die Armee.

Thank you, Shakar.

Only today, I discovered an original document that shows Wilberg's RDA as GL as 01.04.1936 (3). As Wever also held this same RDA, Wilberg's was obviously allotted after Wever's death, and this in turn dictates that Rüdel's RDA must have been 01.04.1936 (1).

Danke, askropp.
