Didn't see this name on the list;
Gefreiter Paul Dmoch (2/Feldgendarmerie Abt.(motorized)694) APBb (3/4/45)
This from 'Chain Dogs: The German Army Military Police of World War II' by Robert E. Witter
It actually has a page for page reprint of his Wehrpass and the APB award is shown on page 23.

Thanks
Thank you Mark, when I get time soon I will go through and add names to the top of the list in the index.
According to another source I recently re-read there were on the 10. March 1945 six further members of the 24th SS division distinguished with the golden award. I shall have to try and check up in the Volkischer Beobachter if they covered this and what the names were.
Cheers

I was reading the new book about Karstjager and I've notice that Kuhbahndner was awarded the day February 1st with Bandenkampfabzeichen in silver in Tolmezzo by Globus but just 14 days later was awarded with bandenkampfabzeichen in gold by Himmler but I dont know where(Wolfsschanze?).
Have you got any additional info about the first and the second episode?
Do you know anything more about the exactly place in Tolmezzo where Erich was awarded?
Thanks in advance

Gold Award
The gold award was presented in Berlin as far as I recall. See my previous posts. I have somewhere [I know you want a copy drapeau and I will find it!] a photostat of the original newspaper article.
I did not know he was also awarded the silver.
The Tolmezzo area was the scene of massive anti partisan operations in late 1944. This was under command of the HSSPf Adriatic Coast. The PArtisans established a Free Zone after the fall of Rome in this area which was ruthlessly quashed by a large amount German units, including a large body of Cossack troops. Their first counter attack was in Tolmezzo and I wonder if the place of presentation had some symbolic meaning? Funny how its also not so far away from where the 24th Karstjager surrendered.

Phew, almost there, got another 9 names for the list bringing our total to 115. I'll add them in a day or two!
Looking forward to getting that new Karstjager book now!
Kind regards

PS On one of the sites relating to the issue and wearing of the post 57 awards I recall it mentioned numbers of awards made of the BKA's. I can't remember whether I posted anything about this previously but I know it mentioned that of the Gold grade there was 47 authorised awards, I am not sure if this is the total awarded of the later awards or the number of those entitled to claim it who recieved the original.
