yes but I thought that was close enough and was splitting hairs really.

William Kramer

Very cool Bill. Somehow I don't think that I'll have the same success finding items with my surname (Gibson) unless I start collecting Allied.

Good stuff, Bill. I like it all. The KVK doc is an interesting "unit specific" variant from Army Group Center - note the 1939 instead of a swastika on the motif. The doc is signed by von Kluge.

Kramer, Cramer

Nice stuff Bill

Very interesting. I thought about looking for items that had my family name on them. But thought I wouldn't have any luck.

Tanks for showing, you have some really nice items. Especially the tunic and the mapcase.

You don't make a differnece between Kramer and Krämer I see?
It looks almost the same off course.

By the way, I think i have a deathcard you could be interested in. I'll see if I can find it and post a picture.

In German, which two are pronounced the same?

Krämer and Cremer?

or

Kramer and Cremer?

and yes, please show the deathcard!

Very-very nice set!
Collectors dream.

Krämer and Cremer would be pronounced the same. But in english it doesn't really matter.

I've found the deathcard. The guy has a pretty rare surname (Sepp, derived from Josef) and died in december 1941 at the gates of moscow.

Here you go:

yes, that was my point. Where I live, Kramer and Cremer are pronounced the same, but in German Kramer and Cremer are not.

...so collecting Krämer is fine as it sounds identical to the way I say Kramer in my native tongue!

If you ever want to sell your death card, please PM me! Thank you for sharing as well!

I understand the illness. I collect British & Commonwealth medals and groups to my surname or close variants, Birchall, Birchell, Burchall, Burchell. So far I have 33 of them dating back as far as the Crimean War and as near as the First Gulf War. Here they are here. I will add Kramer to my search bots
