Vets wearing their 57ers!!!

[Sepp45]

I apologize for the bad quality of this pictures, but I believe are very rare. They were taken during the funeral of Felix von Luckner in 1966, and the man carrying the RK is none other than Bernhard Ramcke!

The medals of von Luckner and Ramcke giving the final words during the burial.

I'll try to find better quality photos of this amazing gathering.

They're wonderful shots Sepp. Just look at the miniatures he's wearing.

Thanks Tony

Speaking of miniatures, here's a photo of Felix von Luckner in 1962. He's wearing the miniature of the prestigious Maltese Cross (Order of St. John of Jerusalem).

Despite the fact it's a small photo, it's one of the rarest I've seen so far: postwar picture of Oberstleutnant Franz Kieslich.

More Spanish vets: I see some wound badges in black and an IAB.

Good eye, my friend

Great image of Spanish veterans Sepp
The wound badge was never reproduced/made in Spain so probably originals....However the IAB was, and the one being worn looks to be Spanish made judging by its over large eagle/swastika on the top of the badge. Notice the shiny Spanish made "Blue division" medal..........
Prost ! Steve.
