          Willy Kroymanns

          Hi Sepp ! I think it was Willy Kroymanns. Info: Yes he was a member of the OdR. Born: 9 April 1920-Died ? He is not listed as an official RKT in any book, however he did have a message from the Army Group Commander awarding him the RK. This was accepted by the OdR and he became an official member sometime before 1982. Thats all I have on him. NOW I'm hoping this is the guy you asked about ! HAHAHA Tom

            Hi Tom! Yes, it was Kroymanns the one I ask you for.

            The question was on the basis that I saw these medals attributed to Kroymanns and I didn't know if he was indeed a RKT.

                NICE! I like the family photos best of all. Thanks for sharing the photo.

                Can you please tell us about his awards and experiences without giving away too much family information?

                    Yeah! That's what I was also thinking. He looks like he could eat nails and spit out bullets.
