If only a comparable English language reference for Imperial German awards existed, we would understand everything there is to know about Orders like the Rote Adler

reservist1 said:Hi Mike: I will keep my eyes open for the volumes of the O'connor books you are missing. You are exactly correct that they do not tell the whole story. They are however a very good primer on the basics. I believe the "whole story" requires access to and an extensive understanding of all the royal decrees and changes thereto concerning German orders. I sure do not have that and never will. I'm not sure anyone will ever have all the answers.
