Wrong. Otto Hintze's Iron Cross First Class was inscribed on the back: Rubs 19 7 40
When Otto Hintze was awarded the EKI there were none in stock at Erprobungsgruppe 210 at the time, so Rubensdörffer gave him his, with the inscription on the back.
So 19 7 40 is not incorrect. I have held and examined said EKI at Hintze's house in Munich.
