Hauptmann Ernst Grunau

I met Grunau several times. He was a very nice man and showed me his 57 medals and badges, but I don't remember if he told me what happened to his original medals or not ? So many years have passed since my trips, but I kept notes. Sadly not enough. Tom

If you look closer, I think it's a wartime.
