Magazine dated September 1972 - Hauptmann Joseph August Fitz

This can't be Fitz. First of all he doesn't look like Fitz. Second, Fitz was an oakleaves holder. And third - I can't find any info that the austrian Fitz served in Bundeswehr after the war.

Hello Buddy ! He lived in East Germany until the Wall went down, and was a TV & radio star there . He purchased his first 1957 type RK from S&L and joined the OdR in the early 90's. After his death I visited his Sister who lived in Ohio, USA and she had all of his medals. His RK was a non magnetic S&L marked 800. Tom
