Save editing

I’ve just finished my first patrol after re-installing GWX and by mid-October 1939 I managed to sink almost 70.000 tons, including warships. After returning to base, however, I got nothing - not even Iron Class 2nd class. This seems very ahistorical, especially since the game awarded multiple awards for my men, including crosses. I want to edit the save to add at least iron crosses after this patrol, how can I do it? Especially, how can I do this without having the game award them again later?

I remember doing this a while ago - medals were properly displayed in my SH3 Commander file but the game would not “see” them and award them again on the next patrol, meaning I would now have, e.g. two Iron Crosses 2nd Class, how can I prevent that?

I know that this is technically cheating, but I treat SH3 as a WWII story generator, and this just seems insane - a captain who is by far the best in the U-Bootwaffe doesn’t get a single award after returning home.
