DavidM Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 HelloApparently it is known that are recipients of the 935-4 RKs. Vern Bowen in his book 'The Prussian and German Iron Cross' notes one RK marked 935-4 which was the award cross to a known recipient. That said, it was the only one out of 40 RKs, (all recipients known according to Bowen), examined by Bowen. The predominant markings Bowen encountered were L/12 800, (9 out of the 40), and just 800, (15 out of the 40). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gordon Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I also understand that these have come directly from the veterans that captured them in May 1945. With any unproven story, it must only be taken at face value.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
