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!

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).Comment

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.Comment
