Hi Sepp,

Thanks for posting some fantastic pics.

Especially interesting #3917 showing two massive Souval BKA‘s in Austrian veterans wear.

Also nice to see the mini oaks on K. Kreutz in wear - especially for me having his postwar awards grouping.

Best regards,
Alex

Here is my small contribution, his name was Albert Bürger, he was a extremly high decorated fire service men, he was also a knights cross recepient, his whole story was quite interesting, here are a few links related to this man


https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_B%C3%BCrger


He clamed about his self, if he should wear all his awards he need to put them on his back as well.


Hopefully it is not a double post, if so, I´m sorry about.
