Skorzeny's Funeral....

Hello Sepp ! I know also in attendence at Skorzeny's funeral were Hans Bauer, Walter Harzer and Skorzeny's driver (from Sept. 44 until the end of the war). I can't remember his name, but he lived near Chicago, Il. USA and Rudel would stay with him while on visits to the US. I met Rudel once in Chicago. ( I believe in 1977 or 78). Thats when I first met the "driver" also. He owned a German Resturant in the suburbs. I'll check my files to see if I can come up with his name. PS...He was a very unplesant person. Tom

A photo with his RK and OLs... '57 edition?

Hi ya Sepp, Did he still have his original set after the war ? I never met him, but I wrote to him and he sent me a nice signed photo. I wish I would have asked him more questions when I had the chance. Tom

I don't know, Tom. It would be nice to find out about the whereabouts of Krupinski's medals.

Regards,
Sepp.

Going to some more "funeral photos"; who can ID the two RKTs behind Otto Riehs?

This was taken during the service for Hans-Ulrich Rudel, in 1982.
