The problem here, is that nearly 80 years have passed, many things have been said or written by those who were there, those that heard as third parties, and speculators, often with conflicting results, there are now, as far as we know, no living participants, so will a definitive answer ever be truly known, in my opinion I doubt it, maybe I'm wrong -
Slight addendum, the gpb is not attached to the tunic, others badges are, (memory lapse)

Hi, nice video, probably an accurate assumption Regards

Yes he did present it to Magda, interestingly, the Russians have one of his fieldgrey jackets and peaked cap (stuffed in a suitcase) they found in the bunker, it has been publicly displayed, the jacket is complete with gbp, ek1 an black wound badge, whatever went up in flames when he n wife were cremated was readily replaceable

Interesting read, but there is still much speculation, as to the realities it seems, I would expect that in common with other top nazis, he had numerous examples of bling lying around for use on numerous uniforms in numerous locations, like Goering https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Hitler-give-his-gold-party-badge-to-Magda-Goebbels-instead-of-Joseph-Goebbels-before-he-killed-himself

A 1939 Grand Cross Of The Iron Cross.
Alex K replied to ChrisKelly's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Seems to a few knocking about, (different suspension ring and loop) Edit, also made out of platinum and onyx
-
The case is an obvious repro, it also comes with stylised variation of the cross on the front, found on ek1cases from 1870 with the same brown leatherette finish

My First Crimea Medal
Alex K replied to TracA's topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
Hi, well done, some excellent detective work, (with some help from the seasoned researchers), this is the beauty of British campaign medals, the information contained on the rim, opens up an amazing history and brings a long-gone soldiers history back to life, no longer gone and forgotten. Regards Alex k Ps, lovely medal BTW -
Hi, thanks for posting, some very nice and interesting stuff shown, particularly if you have deep pockets

Does this help? Looks like 950 and JL to me also

Hi all, thanks for the thumbs up, I noticed that the carton was without insert, but sometimes other decoration, medals etc are in plain boxes but on this occasion was unsure Regards
