    Hi Tom! Here you are gonna find most of Peiper's postwar photos: http://peiper.reibert.info/gallery/1.../1956-1976.htm

    I could't find any of him wearing his 57 RK. In fact, I doubt he ever wanted one (or given his). He had his wartime piece, right?

    Regards,
    Sepp.

      Very interesting pictures and a very interesting HP, thanks Sepp for sharing.
      And a Russian page, I can't believe it.

        Thank you Sepp !

        Thanks you Sepp for the info. I've seen almost all of those photos before. I guess maybe he never did have a 57 cross ? I don't know if he even still had his war time RK ? Like I said the photo he sent me was a war time photo of him wearing his Oakleaves & Swords. Tom

          Many people here told me his wartime RK is in the hands of his son. WAF member Markus knows better, you could ask him.

              Very nice grouping !

              Sepp, This is a super nice group! I noticed the TDB ribbon is missing on the ribbon bar, but in the photo & mini 's it's there ? I guess he had another ribbon bar ? Do you have any info on his dates of awards ? This would have been a very nice addition for my book...oh well. Thanks VERY much for posting !!!!! Tom

                  Hi Sepp .... sorry, but it's "almost all there." That page does not mention his Tank Destruction Badge, Infantry Assault Badge, or Wound Badge in Gold.

                                German veteran's death card. You can clearly see his 1957 ribbon bar.
