I just started a new career in 1939 with SH3 Commander 3.1 and GWX 2.1. I did a 2 day patrol and sunk like 4k of "neutral" Britsh ships. I got these awards:
03AUG39 IRON CROSS, SECOND CLASS
03AUG39 IRON CROSS, FIRST CLASS
03AUG39 KNIGHT'S CROSS
03AUG39 KNIGHT'S CROSS WITH OAK LEAVES
03AUG39 KNIGHT'S CROSS WITH OAK LEAVES AND SWORDS
03AUG39 KNIGHT'S CROSS WITH OAK LEAVES, SWORDS, AND DIAMONDS
I also saw a "lighthouse ship"? It was a double masted, flagless stationary ship with a passenger ship also stationary near it. That was flying a Finnish flag I think? The double masts on the flagless ship had bare rotating lights on them. Odd.
