MJC Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have been looking for the awards and decorations for Generalleutnant Karl Kettembeil, but without success. If anyone can assist, for whatever period/era the data is available, I would be appreciative. I have an otherwise full biographic file. Thanks.Born: 27 Apr 1890 Died: 12 Apr 1976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yup, probably multiples, but since he wasn't Reichsheer and I have NEVER seen a good photo of him-- only one with sword drawn in the middle of a Luftwaffe parade... no clue which ones.
