Hello Chris.

The mention of him having also received the Oakleaves to the Knightscross is in error.

The German magazine Ritterkreuz Archiv of some time back has an article about him.

So just the Ritterkreuz then, I wonder if he ever wore the 1957 version on parade? ... just kidding ...

The pic with 3 is apparently just before he retired.
